WE ARE COAP:

STRONGER TOGETHER

A Self-Evaluation

The ignition of determination, perseverance and eagerness to continue the passion of leading the Bachelor of Science in Advertising community paved the way for the Council of Advertising Practitioners (COAP) to press on amid the adversity brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

HOW COAP FACE IT

One of the trials that COAP faces year by year is its small community. With this, COAP is among the micro organizations at Central Philippine University (CPU). However, COAP proved that despite the lack of manpower, the community is overflowing with skills, talents, and efficiency in carrying out its role to the Advertising students and faculty. One of the best examples of this is how COAP managed to organize events like its Acquaintance party. Even though everyone was busy with their design projects in and out of the campus, the event was a success for the Advert community. This is a testament to the dedication of COAP to its people. No matter how far the Advertising students are from each other, COAP tries its best to fulfill its duty to bridge the gap between students due to the learning situation right now. The ongoing situation proves that unprecedented circumstances can be turned around and can be a key to unlocking new working conditions that can help the council members grow and hone their leadership skills individually and as a team.

HOW COAP DOES IT

As COVID-19 continuously hinders the workflow of the council, the online mode of learning provides an avenue to take a step back and rethink the definition of leadership, especially within COAP. Like all the councils right now, COAP utilized the opportunity of connecting online through various partnerships with other organizations for webinars and events. One of the notable partnerships of the organization is with ENACTUS CPU for the event "SIDLAK: Radiating Impact through Entrepreneurial Action. " Furthermore, even though COAP hasn 't organized many events this year, partnerships have given COAP the initiative to focus on cultivating a harmonious online collaborative relationship with other organizations. This kind of partnership helped COAP support causes that matter right now, which aim to help the community.

To sum up, COAP rose to the challenges that came along our way. We admit that it is difficult, yet, the very essence of COAP helped us in lighting the torch of motivation to persevere and make things work. COAP realized a lot, especially in terms of working with each other; How are going to deliver what the whole community deserves?; In what ways can we help the Advert students?; How can we make an impact and be relevant this time? We believe that these questions and realizations brought us to what we are now— Stronger together. With the Advertising community in its back, COAP became a hub for growth not just in academics but also in life. COAP became a flourishing organization that fosters people who seek to lead, be themselves, and create a platform to represent the Advertising community. Therefore, COAP is more than ready to bring something new to the table and lead the Advert family to greater heights.
