Jency Borromeo Lim - Carolinian bags First Place in CE board exam

A fresh graduate from USC garnered First Place in the 2008 Civil Engineering Licensure Exam.

But this is not a surprise for those who know Engr. Jency Borromeo Lim. “Jens,” as she is fondly called by her classmates and friends, has always been an achiever.

A regular member of the CE Quiz Bowl Team, she represented USC in the national and regional CE quizzes. She placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively in two PICE (Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers) regional quiz bowls.

As a student, Engr. Lim almost always topped every exam she took, especially in Design and other major subjects. She was also a consistent “topnotcher” in the pre-board exams at the Besavilla Review Center.

Former classmates and teachers describe her as bright and humble person who devotes her time to studies and serving God.
