RECTOR Fr. Richard Ang, O.P. honored 37 retiring faculty members of the University in an online video tribute last July 30.
In his message posted on the University’s Facebook page, Ang reflected on how things have changed in the “new normal,” such as the virtual ceremony for faculty retirees.
“Today’s event may be a new experience for us all since this is usually held in the University but it doesn’t mean that this occasion [..] is less solemn and meaningful,” Ang said.
“In fact, the things that we used to do face-to-face can actually be fully approximated in a virtual environment as long as the spirit of the occasion is genuinely present,” he added.
Prof. Evelyn Laurito of the Faculty of Engineering had the longest tenure in this year’s roster of retirees, serving UST for 44 years.
She was followed by former UST High School principal Editha Fernandez of the College of Education and Assoc. Prof. Angelina Silverio, physics department coordinator of the College of Science. They served for 43 years.
Assoc. Prof. Ma. Socorro Guan Hing, director of the Office of Student Affairs, also retired after 32 years of service.
