What better way to start the year to establish the Industry-Alumni Advisory Council (IAAC) for the UPD IEORD? The IAAC serves as the platform for industry representatives, alumni, experts, and leaders to collaborate and provide assistance on the various aspects of our department’s programs. On January 11, 2024, the esteemed members of the IAAC were inducted during the IAAC’s first assembly held at UP BGC.

The IE Student Wellness Room (SWELL), Kaizen Innovation and Makerspace Lab (KIM), and other IE Labs opened their doors to IEORD students during Finals Week of the last semester, to support the students’ academic endeavors. Resources in these laboratories, like computers, were also available for use by the students to help them prepare for their final exams and projects.
