ALAY LAKAD PARA SA ALUMNI: AAO FUND-RAISING PROJECT

The Alumni Affairs Office (AAO) under the leadership of Dr. Elena Catalo has created programs geared towards the continuing growth of the University in which alumni involvement is needed. These programs are the following: (1) Community Service Program; (2) Enhancement Program for Alumni; (3) Alumni Linkage for Job Placement; (4) Recognition for Alumni; and (5) Scholarship Program.

The office needs to source for funds particularly for the Community Service Program, the Scholarship Program and the Enhancement Program for Alumni. Hence, last September 20, 2008 the Alay Lakad Para Sa Alumni with the theme, “Let us rise up, (walk), and build- Nehemiah 2:18-b” was held. Tickets were made available for students and non-alumni faculty, staff and support individuals at Php100; and for alumni and administrators at Php150.

More than 2,000 participated in the activity. Participation was from all sectors of the school community such as the administrators, faculty, staff and students. Likewise, there were alumni mostly from the High School, officers of the Association of Former and Retired High School Teachers and officials of the partner communities such as Barangay Damayang Lagi, Barangay Tatalon and Barangay Kalusugan.

The activity started in Quezon Memorial Circle at 7:00 A.M. and culminated at Patio Trinidad, TUA campus where a short program was held to recognize the participating groups. It was over-all rated good by the participants. It was successful in raising initial funds for the intended programs.
