The UP IEORD Monthly e-Newsletter (August 2024)

OuR Monthly JournIE

Dear UP IEORD Faculty, Students, and Friends,

I hope everyone has taken considerable rest over the midyear and I hope everyone is ready for the 1st Semester AY2024-2025. As we approach the regular registration period, I just would like to welcome our FreshIEs who will be part of the IE Department Family starting this 1st Semester.

Let me also take this opportunity to remind everyone that under the IE Department, during the regular registration period, there are no pre-assigned advisers, rather, any faculty member can be your registration adviser. Please keep yourselves updated by being members of the UPD DIEOR Group, follow us on Facebook and visit the UPD DIEOR website.

Sincerely,
Sir PamPam
