12th National Conference of the Council of Economics Educators -- update

Rey Uzhmar C. Padit fromm the USC-Department of Economics posted this news. This is an update to the recently concluded 12th National Conference of the Council of Economics Educators.

The Department of Economics and the Department of Business Administration together with their respective student organizations, Carolinian Economics Society and the Society of Young Business Executives and Entrepreneurs successfully hosted the 12th National Conference of the Council of Economics Educators last November 20-22, 2008 at the Fr. Albert van Gansewinkel Hall, Main Campus, University of San Carlos.

The theme of the conference was “Economics of Education: Responding to Global Challenges”. With more than 85 participants comprising of students and teachers across the country, they had the opportunity to listen personally to those experts who are on the front line of the global challenges we are experiencing now. First, they had Mr. Arcadio Cruz, the assistant FAO Country Representative who talked on food security maximization while Dr. Nereus J.R.O. Acosta of Asian Institute of Management delivered a lecture on the economics of global environment. They were also privileged to have the Vice-President for Academics of the University of San Carlos, Fr. Felino B. Javines, Jr., SVD, and City Councilor Roberto Cabarubbias to welcome them to the conference.

After taking pleasure from the lectures, they also enjoyed the sumptuous gathering during the Fellowship Night held at the Wrocklage Yard, where Mr. Francisco M. Largo, Chair of the Department of Economics made his Oath of Office as Member of the Board of Directors representing Visayas for 2008-2010 together with other newly elected officers of CECON. The event would never be complete without having them experience the rich scenery Cebu could offer. On the second day, the participants had the city tour and could not stop but succumb to the temptation of otaps sa Shamrock, buwad sa Tabuan, native bags and accessories in Mactan Shrine and the exuding image of the Sto. Niño.

But most of all it was another opportunity for the Carolinians to project again their national presence and no doubt history will have another moment to look unto.
