A PROFESSOR from the College of Education was honored by the Government of Canada and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) last March 18 during the 43rd SEAMEO Council Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

FOUR Thomasians were among 75 students chosen to participate in the 10th Annual Ayala Young Leaders’ Congress (AYLC) last February 6 to 8 at the San Miguel Corp. Management Training Center in Alfonso, Cavite.

Nursing senior Rachel Milante, physical therapy senior student Crismae Olay, industrial engineering senior Florence Margaret Bolisay, and political science junior Mary Kristine Fernandez bested 595 other applicants from 104 schools across the country.

This year’s theme “Leadership: A Call to Moral Courage,” emphasizes the need for moral courage and conviction in a leader.

“Leadership relies not only on the big things but on how we handle every small challenge that comes our way. It is not just about what we do, but who we are, and if we are living a life of moral conviction,” Jaime Zobel de Ayala said in his keynote speech.
