Committee begins its preparation for the CPU Alumni Homecoming

Preparations have started for the 2017 Alumni Homecoming and General Assembly Meeting. Mr. Daniel P. Dorillo, CPU Alumni Association, Inc. President called the Committee members that include Department Heads, Deans, and Principals to an initial meeting on July 10 at the BOT Conference Room. This was in view of bigger and better alumni gathering at Central Philippine University on September 30, 2017. The Committee is co-chaired by Dr. Anita U. Ellenberger.

Taken up at the meeting were concerns and suggestions on how to “bring home” more alumni to this year’s homecoming. Other issues include security and order. It was pointed out that the seating arrangement at the Rose Memorial needs to be improved in preparation for a bigger turnout of attendance this year. The theme “Centralian: Sharing 3T’s (Time, Talent and Treasure) for One CPU” was chosen among the suggestions and will be presented to the Alumni Board for approval.

One suggestion was to convene the Chapter Presidents and representatives of alumni batches to discuss ways to improve attendance. Dorillo suggested that Alumni Chapter Presidents should be given a hand to invite and see to it that more members of their chapters will come. The presentation of U-Days best – winners of selected cultural contests will be performing. Tarpaulins will also be put up in different areas in Panay and Negros to announce the Alumni Homecoming, as well as an aggressive campaign in social media and news outlets.

Dorillo hinted at calling for more meetings in order to address any other matters with regards to the Alumni Homecoming. The organizers are praying and hoping that many alumni will be “coming home” this September 30, 2017.
