Additionally, Ms. Mariela Shane Dasalla was placed Second Runner-up (Ms. Technology) in the Search for the Ambassadress of 2024 STYLE of the Philippine Consortium for Science, Mathematics, and Technology (PCMST) with the theme: “Unifying the Young Advocates of Science, Mathematics, and Technology for Nation-Building”.
Participants in these competitions were accompanied and coached by the SKSU Chapter coordinator, Dr. Christine P. Abo, along with Science and Mathematics instructors Dr. Anamarie Valdez, Prof. Allan Paculanan, and Mr. Welard Jay Vicera.
