All female faculty and staff are invited to the Meditation for Women at the ALB Oratory on March 18 (Tuesday) from 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm. This monthly 30-minute meditation offers an opportunity for female employees to pause, reflect, pray, and listen to God.

Immediately after the meditation, a merienda get-together will be held at the Executive Cafe. This activity aims to build camaraderie among female employees, foster personal and professional growth, and serve as a venue for fostering initiatives (e.g., outreach activities).

The School of Education and Human Development (SED) once again offers its Family Life Education (FLE) Certificate Course.

The course draws on various sources for its content and design: the international and local literature on family life education, the “content areas” identified by the National Council on Family Relations and family life education experts, and notes of experience of local groups and organizations involved in helping families meet their various needs.

It is ideal for organizations (non-government, faith-based, civic, and businesses implementing family-friendly policies and programs), dioceses, parishes, local government units, schools (public and private), and school-related organizations involved in parent formation and education, guidance counseling, and family counseling.

The certificate course consists of 12 modules (six foundational and six professional-technical), delivered over 20 Saturdays (from June 14 to October 25, 2025), using a blended learning mode (a mix of in-person and online classes). Each meeting day features synchronous and asynchronous sessions lasting a total of six hours. 

Apply through this link. Individual interviews will be scheduled as soon as the application form is received.

To learn more about the certificate course, check out the FLE brochure.

A team of accreditors from the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) headed by Dr. Dante Silva conducted an orientation on accreditation for the Master of Arts in Humanities (MA HUM), Master of Science in Human Capital and Organization Development (MS HCOD), and BS Business Economics (BSBE) Programs on February 17. 

The orientation included focus group discussions on the areas under survey during accreditation visits: Philosophy and Objectives/Organization and Administration, Faculty, Curriculum and Instruction, Research, Student Services, Library, Social Orientation, and Learning Resources. 

Present in the orientation were the Program Directors, Unit Heads, Program accreditation teams, and members of the Operations Committees of the College of Arts and Sciences (for MA HUM), School of Education and Human Development (for MS HCOD), and School of Economics (for BSBE).

In the closing meeting in the afternoon, the team of accreditors presented their exit statements, highlighting their recommendation to PACUCOA to grant Associate Status to the said programs. An associate status will qualify the programs for a Preliminary Visit, a stepping stone to a Formal Visit for Level I accreditation. 

We congratulate the MA HUM, MS HCOD, and BSBE Programs for a productive PACUCOA orientation visit.
