As part of its continuing 80th Anniversary celebration, the College Department of St. Bridget College partnered with Ideal Vision Center on October 21, 2026, to provide free eye checkups and eyeglasses to members of the school and partner communities.
Led by the College Department’s 80th Anniversary Celebration Committee, the outreach program benefited students, faculty members, staff, their families, and beneficiaries from the department’s adopted community.
Participants received free vision screening and eye consultations, while selected beneficiaries were provided with eyeglasses to help improve their daily lives. Beyond addressing a practical need, the activity reflected the anniversary theme, “80 Years of College Department: Shining, Bridging, Caring,” by bringing care and support to those who need it most.
The initiative underscored the department’s belief that education goes beyond the classroom. By promoting accessible vision care, the program contributed to the health, well-being, and productivity of its beneficiaries while strengthening the culture of service that has long been a hallmark of the College Department.
As the 80th Anniversary celebration continues, initiatives such as this demonstrate how the College Department remains faithful to its mission of service and community engagement. Through meaningful partnerships and outreach efforts, it continues to build bridges of compassion and create positive change in the lives of others.
Aptly themed “Linaw ng Paningin, Liwanag ng Kinabukasan,” the outreach program reflected the College Department’s continuing commitment to caring for the whole person.
As it celebrates 80 years of service, the department remains steadfast in providing opportunities that not only educate but also enhance the well-being of the communities it serves.
