Message from the President


This school year 2007-2008 is a year of rejoicing for Trinitians. Trinity has just celebrated its first anniversary of university hood of July 18, 2007. As approved by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) it is now known as TRINITY UNIVERSITY OF ASIA (TUA) – a young university known for its worldwide service-learning program.

It is also with pride to report that St. Luke’s College of Nursing - Trinity University of Asia topped in the June 2007 nurses licensure examination with 99% passing rate. It is recognized as a Center of Excellence. The college has been chosen by the UNICEF as a training institution for Integrated Childhood Illnesses.

TUA was the host of the First Student Gourmet Summit 2007 organized by the Association of Administrators in Hospital, Hotel and Restaurant Management Educational Institutions (AAHRMEI) held on August 24-25, 2007. Forty three schools participated in this two-day event with the theme “Reminiscing our Cultural Heritage.”

Trinity University of Asia hosted the 6th General Assembly of the Asia Pacific Federation of Christian Schools (APFCS). The participants were presidents, heads and representatives of Christian schools in Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Australia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mongolia and the Philippines. Officials of the Commission on Higher Education from the different regions likewise participated. APFCS resolved to strengthen education in all Christian values and ideals shall be the way to holistic training of administrators, students and staff. It is the transformative paradigm that will lead them to a truly meaningful and functional Christian life.

Another measure of Trinity’s good image is its successful hosting of the 22nd national Assembly of the Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities-Accrediting Agencies, Inc. with the theme “Assuring Quality Education Through Resource Sharing and Networking.” Participants were heads and representatives of member schools in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Trinity continues to bloom not only academically but also in its physical facilities. I invite the alumni, here and abroad, to come and visit Trinity University of Asia and witness its growth and development. Your institution, your Alma Mater is here waiting for you. Your generous support is a big factor in the continuous improvement of the systems in the institution.

I welcome you all to Trinity University of Asia!
