The Tarlac State University Alumni Affairs Office and Alumni Affairs Association Inc. hosted the first "Talakayan sa TSU" for 2023 earlier this afternoon (January 27) at the Alumni Center on Lucinda Campus.
Concerns about physical facilities and transportation were heard and addressed during the forum, particularly on the transportation from Robinsons Easymart going to the Lucinda Campus. TSUAAI President and TSU Board of Regents alumni representative Hon. Reynaldo Catacutan immediately communicated with Tarlac City Administrator Atty. Numer Lobo to bring the concern to the proper authorities.
TSU President Dr. Arnold E. Velasco and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Agnes M. Macaraeg were also present to shed light on the issues raised.
Moreover, Hon. Catacutan took the opportunity to relay his plans for the alumni association as well as provide help to the pressing concerns of the TSU community.
Among the plans he presented are the refurbishment of the Alumni Center, the establishment of more international alumni chapters (Canada, Australia, Hong Kong), and the turnover of the TSU Capas Campus bus.
AAO Director Dr. Winston Abalos also shared updates about the TSU Alumni Park Phase 2, including his concept of putting up two waiting sheds with solar-powered charging stations. This project, in partnership with Prof. Rodel Botio, is targeted to be launched in August 2023.
Meanwhile, the TSUAAI also awarded cash incentives to the topnotchers of the October 2022 Licensure Examination for Teachers and the December 2022 Criminologist Licensure Examination.
