𝐓𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒' 𝐑𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍. Engineering milestones were celebrated as the Blue & Gold College of Engineering Alumni Association, Inc. (BGCEAAI) reconvened for Alumni Homecoming 2024 at the University Auditorium on Saturday, November 23.

Embracing the theme, "Maghanduraw Sang Aton Masinadyahon nga Nagliligad 2.0," the event acknowledged previous engineering batches and introduced the current faculty from each department of the College of Engineering. In particular, plans were laid out for the upcoming Recoletos Innovation Center for Engineering Research (RICER) at the St. Joseph Building.

"One of the reasons why we held Alumni Homecoming is because of the camaraderie. We are so thankful that we [were able to] organize a project, RICER. Our target is that even though we are not here in UNO-R, by seeing that proposed building, we can at least impart something from where we came from. We could give back to our school," said Engr. Sharon S. Benitado, Secretary of BGCEAAI.
