Here Comes the Dean!

I always have very high regards of the visions and policies of the CICM schools which include Saint Louis College. But if there is one thing I can disagree with, it is the policy on the term limits of the deans and other administrators. Why should a highly performing, highly competent executive be replaced for reasons other than voluntary resignation or retirement? Presumably, it is to give other aspirants a chance at the top, which is good. But the downside is, you also lose a tried and tested leader and manager and have to settle for a neophyte who could turn out to be a dud. This is exactly how Engr. Carisa Blancas became SLC’s loss and University of Baguio’s gain. Ma'am Carie to every Louisian Engineer, Engr. Blancas is now the Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Baguio. Still, a change in her affiliation does not seem to be, to her, a change in loyalties. Thank you, madam, for remembering us and going out of your hectic schedule to address your former colleagues and students. My dear Louisian Engineers, may I have the honor to welcome the longest-serving and most accomplished CEA Dean of Saint Louis College. Take it away, madam…


HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE LOUISIANS ALL OVER THE WORLD!

.

I can't believe it! Most of the Louisians that I have mentored and worked with are now shining through in many spots of the globe!

It was when I was still at SLC when I dreamt of putting up a foundation in the future whose objective is for members to get in touch with each other for a common goal though they are distant apart. The goal would be to be one in extending gratitude to the alma mater - St Louis College of San Fernando, La Union. The extent of gratitude could be in the form of projects that would benefit the EA students like sponsoring scholarships, raising funds for the laboratory, library, etc.

CONGRATULATIONS & I SALUTE YOU, Sir Sonny for making my dream come true thru the SLC-PICE Blog that you have organized. You've started for a good cause - helping the sick people of SLC. Please continue with other projects. I was touched when one of our UB graduates who was about to move out of Baguio came over to donate a lab equipment which he acquired when he was employed. I believed any Louisian can do the same. The Philippines is now greatly affected with the world crisis and we have a good number of promising students at SLC who have the intelligence but do not have the financial capability to pursue a course.

To all the LOUISIANS out there, keep on shining! Spread the excellent training that you have undergone in your alma mater! Right now, I'm trying my BEST to help the UB students to have the same training as you did before.

Good luck to all and God bless!
