Pioneer of the non-graded, self-paced, modular system of education, UST Angelicum College commemorated its 50th founding anniversary on July 5, 2022, with the theme “Dream Beyond.”

To usher in the start of the year-long festivities, a Eucharistic celebration was presided over by the rector of the University of Santo Tomas and UST Angelicum College, Rev. Fr. Richard G. Ang, O.P., concelebrated with the pro-vice rector of UST Angelicum, Rev. Fr. Herminio V. Dagohoy, O.P., and other Dominican friars led by the prior of Sto. Domingo Convent, Rev. Fr. Roger C. Quirao, O.P.

UST Angelicum College looks back with gratitude to its founder and the first group of teachers who collaborated in its vision of establishing an alternative system of education. Rev. Fr. Rogelio V. Alarcon, O.P., the founder of the Angelicum System was honored, along with other pioneer facilitators, Nelita Ofiasa, Delia Tagaban, and Angelita Arboleda. A Fiesta Filipino-themed luncheon was also held after the mass. Past rectors, pioneer teachers, alumni, and other important personalities graced the event.

“UST Angelicum is a testament of a brave and noble academic vision that was laid out 50 years ago today . The various activities hosted throughout its 50th academic year of 2022-2023 are an affirmation of its vibrant and creative teaching-learning environment. The celebration theme of ‘Dream Beyond’ is the institution’s commitment to deliver the academic advantage at Angelicum, a safe, smart, and sustainable education,” says Dr. Eunice Mareth Areola, the director for academic affairs and the chairman of UST Angelicum College’s 50th anniversary committee. 

‘The celebration theme is the institution’s commitment to deliver the academic advantage at Angelicum, a safe, smart, and sustainable education.’

Other events and legacy activities were curated for the milestone, such as the Media Congress 2023: Media and the World, Indak: Festival of Dances, Angelicum’s Finest: The Thomasian Angelican Alumni Awards, a program honoring its human resources called Excellentia, Innovateur: Inter-School Congress for Science Investigatory Projects, EntrepCamp: Start-up Program, the Fr. Rogelio B. Alarcon, O.P. Public Lecture, the National Conference on Alternative and Transformative Education, Angelicum Hackathon, and more.

The UST Angelicum College family invites everyone to celebrate and see where 50 years of alternative and transformative Catholic Dominican education have brought them.
