Each of you contributed something interesting to the table. Whether it was your unrivaled branding designs, your own personal writing styles, or your tenacity and willingness, you’ve all contributed significantly to what The Tradesman is today.
We deeply value the way you challenged assumptions, pushed forward with your ideas, and eventually helped us to evolve into an avenue for the viewpoints of Tradesmen.
Even though you have graduated, The Tradesman family is far vaster than the halls of Samar State University. Continue creating, stay involved, and know that you have our constant support.
May your voices continue to resonate with the spirit of The Tradesman, quality and conflict-sensitive, always. We hope you’ll continue to uphold these values in all you do — striving for excellence while remaining sensitive to different perspectives.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your contributions. Congratulations!
