“i’ve never attended an alumni homecoming because i’ve never been invited to one!” thus, dr. chris icban, editor- in- chief of manila bulletin, voices what might be so many alumni’s misgivings about coming back home to u.p. cal.
may i then invite all the cal alumni — the venerables of the ur-college, the u.p. college of liberal arts, the grand dames and gentlemen from the division of humanities of the old college of arts and sciences (up diliman), and the pride (aka graduates) of the college of arts and letters, to post their full names and addresses, contact numbers, email addresses to this site, where we can build a directory of cal alumni and start a dynamic interrelation among the college faculty, studentry and alumni. do invite others in turn.
with your active participation, this site becomes an ebulletin cum directory cum chika for us. thank you very much.
cal. the u.p. college of arts and letters. the seat of national literary artists and the cradle of writers, critics, actors, speakers, scholars and teachers of foreign, local, and national languages, arts, and literatures.
originally the college of liberal arts, it grew into the college of arts and sciences. sometime in 1982, however, when the u.p. college of arts and sciences became too big for palma hall, it was split into the three colleges of science, of social sciences and philosophy, and of arts and letters. the five departments of art studies, english and comparative literature, european languages, filipino and panitikang pilipino, and speech communication and theater arts became the present college of arts and letters. attached to it are the institute of creative writing and the vargas museum. each of the departments is a ched center of excellence.
the college of arts and letters building (less than half of the original plan) houses the classroom and the arts and letters library. the faculty center (bulwagang rizal) is home to the cal faculty, and houses the institute of creative writing, the translation center, the audio-visual center, the graduate studies, and the five-department offices. the vargas museum is both a repository of filipiniana treasures and a gallery for artists’ exhibits.
alumni. the sikat of the orig college of liberal arts. then the great men and women from the division of humanities of the college of arts and sciences. and later, the graduates of the present college of arts and letters.
calumni. the collaboration between the college and the alumni. (in filipino, bukal, bukloran ng kal at alumni)
