The event not only highlighted the creativity and talent of first-year students across different programs but also deepened their awareness and appreciation of the university’s history and founding legacy. Through literature, spoken word, and music, participants were able to express their interpretations of identity, culture, and gratitude toward the institution’s roots.

The celebration strengthened the sense of unity among students and emphasized the importance of remembering and honoring the legacy of Bai Matabay Plang as an inspiration for future generations of USMians.
