CEU Loyalty Day holds a unique significance as it coincides with the birth anniversary of a true icon of loyalty, Doña Concepcion Aguila, the first Graduate School Dean. Her legacy continues to inspire generations, and it is only fitting that this day of recognition falls on her birthday.
This significant event is organized by Dr. Rhoda Aguilar, the University Registrar, and Dr. Paz Lucido, the President of CEU Alumni Foundation, Inc., with Prof. Angelito Ayran, Jr. serving as the Program Director.
