The students involvement through class sponsorship is one unique feature of the CSWCD radio program. The next four episodes of Sikhay Kilos will cover migration issues with SW 225 students under the supervision of Prof. Yolanda Ealdama of the Department of Social Work.

The public can also look forward to the future episodes on Disaster Risks Reduction and Management to be sponsored by the Department of  Community Development under the Prof. Elmer Ferrer. Highlights of the episodes include the one year commemoration of Typhoon Ondoy and the CSWCD's continuing initiatives to respond to the challenges.

The Department of Women and Development Studies will tackle women related issues. Prof. Roselle Leah Rivera, Department Chair and Sikhay Kilos alternate Program Host, will take the initiatives in leading the women related episodes.

The Research and Extension for Development Office, research and extension arm of CSWCD, under the guidance of Prof. Rainier V.
