Another meaningful stop for the Bicol University Alumni Relations Office Campus Tour 2026–2027, this time with the graduating students of BUJMRIGD!

More than an orientation, it was an afternoon of conversations, connections, and possibilities as we shared how their relationship with Bicol University continues even after they receive their diplomas.

Soon, they will leave the halls of BU to pursue careers, serve communities, and build their own paths. But wherever life takes them, they will always have a home in Bicol University and a place in its growing alumni community.

To our future BU alumni: stay connected, stay involved, and carry the pride of being a BUeño wherever you go. Your journey with BU does not end at graduation, it simply takes on a new meaning. 💙

🎓 𝗔𝗥𝗢 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗨𝗦 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲–𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 𝗞𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗦 𝗢𝗙𝗙 𝗔𝗧 𝗕𝗨𝗖𝗕𝗘𝗠!

Thank you, BUCBEM, for the warm welcome as we officially kicked off the BU Alumni Relations Office Campus Tour for School Year 2026–2027!

It was a meaningful and engaging face-to-face encounter with the graduating class of CBEM—our soon-to-be alumni! More than simply introducing the programs and services of ARO, the session highlighted an important message: graduation may mark the end of one chapter, but it should never mark the end of one’s connection with Bicol University.

We are grateful for the enthusiasm and active participation of our future alumni as we shared how staying connected can create opportunities for engagement, collaboration, professional growth, and giving back to the University and the communities we serve.

As you prepare to leave the halls of BU and take your next steps into the world, remember that you will always have a place in the Bicol University community.
