Trainor's Training on Learning Methodologies and Materials Development

5th Trainor's Training on Learning Methodologies and Materials Development (LMMD) Seminar-Workshop

The University of San Carlos proudly played host to the 5th rollout of the Trainor’s Training on Learning Methodologies and Materials Development (LMMD) Seminar-Workshop last May 21-25, 2007 at the Theodore Buttenbruch Hall, Main Campus.

This laudable project is in line with the Covenant of Partnership signed by ABS CBN Bayan Foundation, Inc with our very own University in pursuit of its common mission of developing and promoting micro-enterprises and in democratizing entrepreneurship through training and education.

The seminar was attended by officers from various micro finance institutions, cooperatives, NGOs, rural banks and faculty members from academic institutions. Spotted among the participants were officers and staff from Taytay sa Kauswagan, Inc., FCB Foundation, Inc., Cebu People’s Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Alalay Sa Kaunlaran, Inc., Lamac Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Community Rural Bank of Catmon, Basak Layog Agricultural Multi-Purpose Cooperative, First Agro Industrial Rural Bank, RAFI-Cebu Micro Enterprise Development Foundation, Inc., Center for Community Transformation, Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod, and the Cebu Normal University. USC also sent several faculty members from the College of Commerce to attend this rare opportunity to be trained as trainors for entrepreneurship.

The five-day session was fully packed with innovative teaching methodologies, processes and new insights into the role of becoming a more effective trainor. Some of the more interesting topics taken up were the concepts of whole brain thinking, structured learning exercises, process observation and analysis, Myer-Briggs Type Indicator, creative and intuitive thinking and the use of effective case methodology.

It must have helped a lot that the trainors for the seminar were all seasoned professors from the Asian Institute of Management, led by no less than its former dean, Dr. Eduardo A. Morato, Jr. and currently the President of ABS CBN Bayan Foundation. He was ably assisted by two more AIM professors in the persons of Prof. Cecilia B. Manikan, and Prof. Juan A. Kanapi.

USC Campus Ministry

University of San Carlos CAMPUS MINISTRY

History
Campus Ministry has a long and lively history, demonstrating its ability to respond to and grow with the signs of the times. From a small club of concerned priests and lay Catholics, to an officially recognized ministry - this growth has involved thousands of lay people who have generously shared themselves. Before, Campus Ministry was perceived as an apostolate primarily reserved to the clergy and religious. It was taken then as some kind of an "additional service" to the studentry, or for some, a simple justification of the priest’s or religious presence in the campus. And the tasks primarily were religious or spiritual in nature, specifically in preparation for the reception and administering of the Sacraments, thus the apostolate itself is associated mainly to Chaplaincy in relation to pastoral care.

Now, a broader understanding of the Campus Ministry is upheld. It is not only an "additional attention" to students, reserved for priests and religious, but an integral part of a Catholic educational institution's mission for the integral growth of every member of the community. "To relegate this ministry to the institution's periphery in an isolated department or office of 'Campus Ministry', is to fault the University's or College's essential Catholic identity"

Campus Ministry in the University is as old as the institution itself. Since the beginning, being a Catholic institution, although the term Campus Ministry was not still being conceived, spiritual attention and value formation had already been done. As the institution grew into a University, a need for more organized pastoral work in the campus was felt. This slowly gave birth to the designation of a University Chaplain, to take charge of the liturgical and pastoral activities in the University in the late 60’s. The University has produced a list of Chaplains since the SVDs assumed the administration.

Taking into consideration of the number of the members of the University which comprises four (4) campuses: South Campus, North Campus, Talamban Campus and the Main Campus, Associate Chaplains were appointed to help the University Chaplain in the pastoral care of all the members of the University.

And always conscious of her identity, as a Catholic educational institution, all efforts to better fulfill her mission to evangelize, eventually gave birth to the - USC Campus Ministry.


Rationale of USC Campus Ministry
The Society of the Divine Word is conscious of the great challenge that poses the reality of the youth in our time. The document "Witnessing to the Word", #10 (September 1986) of the Society, underlined the fact that the youth constitutes the great number of the whole humanity. This is also very true in the Philippine context. The PCP II documents notes: The Philippines is the country of the young. In 1989 about 60% of the total population, that is 35.9 million, was below 25 years old of which 8.2 million belong to 18-24 years of age (PCP II 380, 383).

The Divine Word Society's response calls for the intensification of our commitment with the youth and children, improving always our ways of working in the youth apostolate in schools and outside of them. The SVD Constitution 109.2 has this to say: "Aware of our responsibility of the future of the Church and the human society, we dedicate with zeal in the task of Christian education and formation of the youth, inside and outside the school campuses." The SVD believes that the apostolate among the youth must aim at the integral formation of the person, a wholistic approach to education.

We want to have:
  • self-convinced Catholics but respectful of other creeds
  • well-formed in the light of the Gospel
  • community forming and community loving
  • committed to the Church and to the growth of the society
  • committed to the Missions Ad Gents.
In simple words, an evangelized and evangelizing person.

In the Philippines, the University of San Carlos, being administered by the SVD missionaries, is certainly an apostolate among the Filipinos. All in all, there are more than 20 thousand students and some 2 thousand professors and non-academic personnel. So, for the SVDs, aside from being an educational institution, the USC is also a privileged place for evangelization. Privileged in the sense that, in all campuses the members of the educational community are almost present everyday of the week, much more than their presence in parishes. This justifies the presence of the Society of the Divine Word in the University as a religious missionary congregation. This is reflected in the University's mission statement:

… "USC is an institution of learning committed to the education and transformation of the professional dedicated to the regional and national development and human advancement. And as a Catholic institution, it assures within the university community and in the academic world a Christian presence, characterized by learning in the light of the Catholic faith and the missionary commitment of the Society of the Divine Word."

At the same time, the University's motto "Scientia, Virtus, Devotio", is always a force that impels everyone not only to become good professionals in their field but to become better persons; to be Christian professionals.

Campus Ministry is an apostolate that facilitates in each member of the USC community a personal and communitarian experience of God, providing a more Christian atmosphere in all campuses. It complements the academic discipline, as it is not a parallel activity to it, so as to enhance the growth process of each person in faith and be truly a disciple of Christ. This discipleship evidently entails the responsibility to help in the social, cultural and moral transformation and development of the society (PCP II, Decrees 107). The personal experience of God must lead the person to share and bear witness of it in the community and serve the same community where he belongs and to the Church (society) in general.


Vision – Mission

We, the Campus Ministers of the University of San Carlos, imbued by the Trinitarian Spirituality of St. Arnold Janssen, nourished by the Eucharist and empowered by the Word, commit ourselves to develop and maintain programs that aid the members of the university community to become living witnesses to the Word among themselves and the community-at-large. This we intend to accomplish through the promotion of Bible Reflection, Mission Animation, Communication and Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation.



Goals and Objectives
The University Campus Ministry aims to form basic Christian communities in the University in the Spirit of the Trinitarian Spirituality of Arnold Janssen where people grow in inner freedom and responsibility through: active participation in and appreciation of the various liturgical celebrations and pastoral activities; regular faith-life formation programs, Gospel values seminar-workshops, recollections and retreats and other community building activities; active participation in missions, animations and activities critical analysis of social concerns and issues affecting the Carolinian community and responding to them in appropriate ways; and solidarity with the poor through personal involvement in outreach activities.

It is said that there are two centers of activities in any Catholic learning institution: the library and the chapel. The first is to develop the intelligence of the human mind; the second is to form the human heart. The Campus Ministry is certainly a fundamental part in the life and activities in the University. After all, education is more than just academics; it is enhancing life, it is life.

USC Law and Business School Building Breaks Ground

Law and Business School Building Breaks Ground

Another milestone in USC was ushered in by the Administration to fruition and was heralded by the ground breaking ceremony which marked the dedication of the site and the start of construction work for the new Law and Business School building at the Main Campus.

The new building will cater to the increasing enrolment of the College of Law and the Graduate Business Program of the College of Commerce. The building will have 30 lecture rooms, an Audio-Visual Room, Review and Moot Courts, Administrative Offices, Exhibit Area, and Student Lounge. It will be ready for partial occupancy at the start of the Second Semester, School Year 2007-2008, and for full occupancy by December 2007.


The construction of the a new building for the Colleges of Law and Commerce is the culmination of a dream for USC, for two of its star colleges, which is no longer far and elusive, according to Fr. Louie Punzalan, SVD.

And from Fr. Teodoro Gapuz, SVD – a home of unity for future board topnotchers and outstanding businessmen – a literal and metaphorical powerhouse of professionals extending a new dimension to USC’s Credo: Witness to the word, locally and globally. The beaming faces of the administrators of the College of Commerce led by Fr. Mark Mathias, SVD, who led the prayer service and the College of Law led by Atty. Alex Monteclar summed up the response of the community to the soon-to-rise edifice.

USC Law Diamond Jubilee

USC Law launches Diamond Jubilee during its Grand Alumni Homecoming

This 2007, the University of San Carlos College of Law turned seventy years young! In celebration of its Diamond Jubilee, the College held, together with the USC Law Alumni Association, Inc., a grand alumni homecoming at the Cebu Country Club on Sunday, April 28, 2007.

The grand celebration began with a Mass celebrated by a law alumnus and a silver jubilarian from Class ’82, Fr. John Jonah Orat. It was immediately followed by dinner, entertainment, and a program showcasing the Outstanding Alumni for 2007, the Dean’s Report of Atty. Alex L. Monteclar and the Message of the University President, Fr. Roderick C. Salazar, Jr., SVD.

The Dean’s Report gave insights on the new programs and activities of the College, notably the Moot Court Competition and the New Curricular Program to commence this coming academic year.

The highlight, however, was on the new building which will be constructed beginning May 2007. Fr. Salazar noted that as the College celebrates its Diamond Jubilee, we are reminded of the many blessings of the College of Law, and are grateful to the people who made all these possible.

A Carolinian placed 7th in the 2006 Bar Examinations, and the College registered a high 85% passing percentage of its 2006 graduates.

The happy affair ended with a night of singing and dancing and the raffle of the grand prize, which is a round trip ticket for two to Manila-Hong Kong- Manila courtesy of Philippine Airlines.
