Campus Mobility Forum

In 2023, Ateneo launched a Campus Mobility Forum to help the University administration in developing innovative solutions and sustainable campus mobility strategies by inviting the members of the University community to come together to express ideas freely, arrive at consensus discursively, and offer a program of action. As part of this, Tagpuan Ateneo convened small group discussions and other gatherings across the Basic Education, Higher Education schools, and affiliate units in the Loyola Heights campus to allow community members to give share their ideas on the topic of campus mobility.
