University of Batangas continuously rises above all the adversities. It will keep on dreaming and it will never stop! This year, we celebrate another milestone— the 75th Founding Anniversary, with the theme “We Rise and Stride at 75”. Commemorating the school’s founding anniversary is very significant since it is the chance to remind the students and the UB community about the humble beginnings of the educational institution. The Corporate Communications Office (CCO) together with the Culture, Arts and Publications in Basic Education (CAPBE) Office spearheaded the celebration of the university’s founding anniversary. There was a great deal of hurried activities and great deal of excitement not only for students but for the whole community including faculty and employees.
THANKSGIVING MASS
As part of the celebration of the University’s 75th Founding Anniversary, a Thanksgiving Mass was celebrated last February 22, 2021, 10:00AM. The mass was celebrated at the UB Chapel but in a limited capacity to observe physical distancing. The mass was aired via UB Facebook Live.
FOUNDERS’ MEMORIAL LECTURE
Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, it will not hinder us to still celebrate the very special event as we commemorate the legacy started by our founding fathers. One of the highlights of the celebration is the Founders’ Memorial Lecture that was held last February 24, 2021 via online. University of Batangas commemorated the esteemed founders and honored one of the notable persons whose work made a significant impact in the University, Mrs. Conrada Benito Perez. Kins of the founders also had the traditional flower-offering to give honor and respect to the late founding fathers.
