A weekly round-up of everything that transpires in the Kreaverse

A Round-up of the Kreaverse

Convocation 2025 wrapped up on a high note — a celebration of achievements, dreams, and the journeys ahead. And before the applause could settle, we’re already deep into preparations for welcoming the incoming cohort. In true Krea spirit, there’s never a dull moment.

The campus, having briefly enjoyed its summer quiet, is already gearing up for the buzz and bustle of student life. With returning students, new faces, orientation sessions, and a flurry of activity on the horizon, the energy is shifting quickly and beautifully.

That’s the rhythm of the Kreaverse. One moment we’re celebrating milestones, the next we’re building new beginnings. It’s fast-paced, ever-evolving, and full of promise, and that’s just the way we like it.
