preparation for the 34th school anniversary, inviting faculty and students to participate in these
activities. The highlight of the celebration were the anniversary sports day and "The 5th Outstanding

all teachers and students exercise caution and good health.
Before the creative cheerleading performance, each college sent a representative department that
brought innovative displays to enter the field, presenting not only chants and dances but also
thoughtfully crafted props to offer blessings for CCU. Among them, the College of Social Sciences
accompanied by pop music, secured the third place with students waving and dancing energetically.

while students moved their hands in a fun and lively manner, earning both colleges the second place
simultaneously. Finally, the College of Education delivered a spectacular and creatively outstanding
performance, claiming the highest score and winning the first place for the most creative one to enter
the field.
