In a show of commitment to student-driven initiatives, newly elected UPNG SRC President Clinton Maliaba has pledged to work alongside the UPNG Literature Reader Society (LRS) in 2025. The announcement was made during the closing ceremony of the society, which was established recently.

Maliaba acknowledged the significance of such academic groups in fostering intellectual growth on campus. "The UPNG LRS is a welcome addition to our university. It promotes critical thinking and encourages students to engage deeply with literature,” he said. “As 2025 SRC President, I am committed to working closely with this society and providing any support they may need throughout the upcoming academic year.”

He further emphasized the role of societies like UPNG LRS in creating a vibrant academic environment at the university. "I believe that societies like this one are key to shaping a holistic learning experience at UPNG. We need spaces where students can freely exchange ideas and perspectives,” Maliaba added.

The UPNG Literature Reader Society, though newly formed, has already drawn attention for its potential to elevate literary discussion and engagement on campus and outside.
