Kicking-off the celebration of CLSU’s 60th Universityhood, the CLSU Alumni Association Inc. (CLSU AAI) unveiled the “Alumni Walk” today, June 17. This new landmark, located at the left wing of the Dr. Pedro A. Abella Graduation Site, provides a pavement for the university's ‘golden grains,’ as they celebrate receiving their hard-earned diplomas.
The “Alumni Walk” features 1,500 bricks adorned with gold plates, each etched with the names, degrees, and graduation years of alumni donors. This initiative allows them to become an enduring part of CLSU's rich history.
Dr. Danilo S. Vargas, CLSUAAI President, extended his profound appreciation to all the alumni who contributed to this project and underscored the significance of this collaborative endeavors which shape the long-lasting partnership of the alumni to their beloved university.
"CLSU's past, present, and future are forever intertwined. The Alumni Walk embodies the power of unity. As we celebrate this milestone this inspires us to be a stronger CLSU, forever faithful to the generation who came before us," Dr. Vargas said.
Additionally, Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, University President, conveyed his gratitude to CLSUAAI for its continuous support for the welfare of CLSU graduates. He emphasized that initiatives such as the Alumni Walk can strengthen the bond between alumni and the university, encouraging them to continue walking hand in hand with CLSU.
"Ang mga Tatak CLSU [alumni] ay malalim ang pagmamahal sa pamanatasan, kaya’t ang pagtutulungan ay sisibol at mamamapayagpag upang higit na mapauland ang ating pamantasan.” President Abella said.
In addition, the CLSUAAI generously donated 12 lecterns to the university, which will be allocated to each college, including the University Security Force. The event was attended by the Administrative Council, retired professors, and alumni from different batches with some coming from other provinces and even abroad.
