USC: No tuition fee increase this year

Through the College Deans/Department Chairs/
Principals/Office Heads/SSC President

Subject: TUITION FEES AY 2009-2010

That the present period is a critical time in history is no longer a cliché but a sobering warning. Because the primary economic engine that is America has stumbled, the rest of the world is scrambling to adjust. Government reassurances notwithstanding, the Philippines is not immune from contagion; in fact unsettling evidence of the impact is already being noted at regional and province levels.

In Cebu City some of our own stakeholders have already manifested their apprehensions about possible tuition fee adjustments. As demanded by CHED and due process, and after consultation, we are now issuing the following announcement.

The USC administration, College Faculty Association (CFA) and the Administrative Employees Association (ADEA) have jointly agreed that for Academic Year 2009-2010, ALL FEES in ALL departments shall be MAINTAINED at their 2008-2009 levels.

Although this common decision is dictated by the global economic crisis, it is also the product of discernment in the spirit of our vocation as Christian educators. It aims to help new and continuing students of USC and their families to cope with the times even as they seek education in our institution.

Rest assured that the Administration shall partner with CFA and ADEA to look for ways to help faculty and staff to lighten the sacrifices they have graciously assumed to help others cope with the economic difficulties we all face today.
We invite each member of the USC academic and student communities to be more proactive in helping to cut expenses in our operations. An obvious start is avoiding wastage of or economizing on electricity and school materials. Thank you all for the goodwill shown so far; thank you in advance as well for the cooperation awaited in the future.

LANTAWAN: Official publication of USC-CAFA

Get yourself a copy of LANTAWAN, the official publication of the University of San Carlos, College of Architecture and Fine Arts (USC-CAFA).

Here is a note from the LANTAWAN editor-in-chief, Bro. Bela Lanyi, SVD:

[quote]
Obviously, architecture and fine arts create the scene for community consciousness. The intellectual dimension of architecture and fine arts is the question of Filipino Architecture. LANTAWAN delivers a variety of contributions to this: authors explain, criticize, or even deny the necessity of a Filipino Architecture. May readers form their own opinion on this topic! May LANTAWAN create an atmosphere, a forum, of open discussion! There are open questions: Is Filipino Architecture a national or a regional architecture? Does it unify Filipinos or does it compromise local initiatives with the benefit of the whole country? Moreover, we should not forget about another, rather practical dimension of architecture for community consciousness: the urban heritage. LANTAWAN tries to highlight the urban consequences of so many centuries of Cebu history. What might be the solutions for a better future, even on the level of city ordinances?

As a regional architectural-cultural journal, LANTAWAN extends the local reality beyond all usual boundaries, in particular beyond professional and geographical boundaries. Everybody is invited to read LANTAWAN, to participate in it, because architecture and fine arts are anyone’s matter. A special zest is given by the fact that the editor is a foreigner. His commitment as Divine Word Missionary (SVD) transcends even another boundary between spirituality and “practical life,” between Church as commissioner and artists as performers.

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.

Featured video: Voices of USC-JPIA

Time for the Carolinian video feature! This video was taken during the University of San Carlos Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (JPIA) Freshmen Orientation last June 5, 2008 at USC-South Campus. The performers are Giovie Lynn Boschi, Leomark Villacarlos, Marga Mancelita, and DM Andrino.

The two ladies did a good job. But the two guys did poorly, especially the first guy who performed Christian Bautista's 'Hands To Heaven'.

Institutional Renewal of the USC Alumni Office

ADVISORY ON THE USC ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

To: All USC alumni and the Carolinian Community

Re: Institutional Renewal of the USC Alumni Office

For more than two decades now there has been an ambiguity in the functional identity of the USC Alumni Office. On the one hand it is presumably the principal office tasked to manage USC’s alumni activities and to coordinate all alumni chapters; on the other hand the Carolinians Incorporated tended to assume those responsibilities and perform the same activities as well. In the best of times the overlap can be a valuable asset towards cooperation; in the worst of times it can lead to operational impasse. Hence the recurrent question: “To whom should USC alumni pledge their allegiance – to the University or to Carolinians Incorporated?”

Over the past several months the University President has been in communication with members of the outgoing and incoming Board of Carolinians, Inc., either directly or through the OIC for Alumni Affairs, Fr. Mar Alingasa, SVD. Discussions covered a broad range of topics, e.g., the definition of alumnus or alumna, the essence of an alumni organization together with its mission, structure, membership and activities, how chapters should relate to each other, traits of an ideal Carolinian alumnus and so on.

It is our pleasure to summarize the consensus at this point in the following statements. (a) The USC Alumni Association will be reinstated as the proper institutional organization, with a governance body to be constituted by the University Administration. The OIC for Alumni Affairs will issue the appropriate guidance and information. (b) Historically Carolinians Incorporated holds the distinction of being the first to be constituted not only as chapter of the USC Alumni Association but also as its first chapter based in Cebu. As a corporation, however, Carolinians Inc. cannot but be a juridical entity distinct from the USC Alumni Association. Accordingly CI accepts its operational status as an autonomous alumni chapter with its own constituency of life-time members. (c) Other alumni may choose to organize in the country and abroad under the guidance of the USC Alumni Association which shall accredit them as official chapters. All others who wish to organize independently as alumni associations are certainly free to do so; all USC insists on is that these should explicitly declare their autonomous status from USC.

Who then are USC alumni? USC alumni come from every segment of society, sharing common experience as USC students and graduates. They recognize that USC has enabled them to build professional foundations, rich personal relationships, moral convictions and the Christian idealism needed to enrich the unfolding of their daily lives.

The USC Alumni Association then forms a constituency that exists to promote the mission of the University of San Carlos to pursue educational excellence, broaden friendships among member alumni, and sustain loyalty to Christian ideals. This human network encourages individual alumni to emulate as closely in their family, social and professional life the ideals enshrined in the University motto: Scientia, Virtus et Devotio. Finally the association hopes that the interest stimulated for its alma mater also translates into voluntary support for its concerns. May your membership benefit you, and may you benefit many fellow Carolinians.

In the Spirit of the Word,
Fr. Dionisio M. Miranda,SVD
