The University of Baguio (UB) once again gears up for Year Two of the Greening, Optimizing, Orchestrating, and Magnifying Mother Earth Project, also known as Project GROOM ME. An initiative geared towards leaving a meaningful and lasting positive impact on the environment and the community, the project is a three-year endeavor spearheaded by the university’s Research, Innovation, Extension, and Community Outreach (RIECO) Office. The different offices, schools, and members of the student body are active participants in the project, donning their work gloves and boots to take part in the university’s efforts to positively impact the environment and the community.
