The Student Involvement Unit (SIU), under the Center for Student Life (CSL), released the 39  Accredited and Recognized Student Organizations (ARSO) for A.Y. ‘21-’22 via Benilde mail on Sept. 10.

The official list of accredited groups decreased by one compared to the previous academic year’s 40 organizations, with 39 of them being reaccredited. Only the organization “Young Benildean Professionals” was not reaccredited.

The memorandum released by SIU thanked the Benildean Community for supporting organizations’ programs and activities. The unit also encouraged Benildeans to volunteer and become student leaders by being involved through student groups and associations.
