the proposed centennial landmark


CMU is celebrating its great history this year, and in doing so, also creating history. To cement it, Engrs. Acma, Agbayani, and Pamisa, as well as, Architect Mabilin designed a centennial landmark that will be built this year near the administration building. The design is intricate, the details have meanings. See it rise until it shall be fully established come September this year.

Every milestone has to be celebrated.
Every distance needs to be marked.
Then we set new goals again.
For the future.

the development of a community can also be measured on its cultural growth. cmu is known for its passion for music, dances, and other forms of performances. the resident cultural troupe is called bidlisiw. here's a sample of their performance on the night of feb 1 dubbed "talents unlimited: let's celebrate!"

some pics from feb 1 (opening salvo)





something old, something new. but one thing is for sure, you do miss CMU.

the university is growing, vertically and horizontally.

some students are more daring and so we hope that the community is more open-minded and welcoming. there are more buildings now in campus than before.

most of the campus pathways are now paved. hence, the campus is a lot noisier these days because there are more vehicles in campus.

accordingly, you are definitely in cmu if: "gapatunga ang mga estudyante sa dalan ug gapadaplin ang mga sakyanan..."

but we still enjoy the sight of cowboys on horses.

new thinking. new directions. but all in all, we hope for the same vision - a great university. a global university.

soon. sooner. soonest.

feb 9 was a success!

thanks to all who went to the FTC yesterday, who became part of CMU's 100th year history. the seminar series had a good line up of speakers on 3 fields of knowledge: anthropology, psychology, and biodiversity.

kudos to the sponsors!!!
