Dear UP IEORD Faculty, Students, and Friends,
As the end of the semester draws near, I would like to congratulate everyone in advance for making it up to this point. This 1st Semester was marred with typhoons and several class suspensions. But that did not stop us from achieving our goals this semester, more so in helping others. So, thank you everyone for participating in our events this year and especially during the 1st Semester.
Advance Happy Holidays and God Bless on your Final Exams!!!
This is a double issue for both November and December 2024.
Sincerely,
Sir PamPam
