Save the Date: Alumni Networking Event this Saturday!

Hi, FUPAC!

I hope you have all been having a wonderful semester so far. In the next few days, I’ll be posting a recap post of what we have done this past month so be on the lookout for that!

Also, as a reminder, we will be hosting our first-ever Alumni Networking Event this Saturday, February 21, from 12:00-4:00 pm. It will be held in the Campbell Multipurpose Room, located right next to Cosi. Some of our former FUPAC members will be leading educational workshops that will be useful as you all prepare to apply for internships and jobs! To learn more about our upcoming event, be sure to come to our meeting this Wednesday at 4 pm in Keating 104 to receive more information.

We hope to see you all this week! Don’t hesitate to contact us via Facebook, Twitter, or email, if you have any questions.

Meeting Recap: December 3

Hi, FUPAC!

Yesterday, we held our final meeting of the semester–can you believe the fall semester is almost over?! I definitely can’t.

We had a fun time making beautiful paper parols which will be on display at Simbang Gabi this Saturday. Thanks to everyone who attended our meeting and helped out! You can watch a recap of our Simbang Gabi preparations yesterday in our event teaser here.

On behalf of the rest of the e-board, I just wanted to say that we truly enjoyed meeting with you all every Wednesday this semester. We hope you made some new friends, reconnected with old ones, and learned some new things about the Filipino culture!

Can’t wait to see you all at Simbang Gabi this Saturday!

– Irene, FUPAC Secretary

Happy Thanksgiving, FUPAC!

Happy Thanksgiving, FUPAC family!

I just wanted to take the time out to say ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ to you all. Thank you so much for all that you do for this club, whether it’s attending our events, going to our weekly meetings, or even just reading our weekly e-mails. This club would be nothing without you, its members, so thank you! I’m beyond blessed to be able to call you guys not just my friends, but my family. You have made my job as President worthwhile, and I hope that I have been doing a good job throughout this year.

This club is nothing without the support, love, and fun that you guys put in day in and day out, so I just wanted to say thanks for being part of the FUPAC family. I hope you all have wonderful Thanksgivings, whether you are spending it with family or friends. Stay safe, get stuffed, and see you all soon!

With so much love, your President,
Marian
