CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Happy 2023!
In the Lunar calendar, 2023 is the Year of the Water Rabbit, which is predicted to be a year of hope. The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity.
From my perspective, the message is that you should strive to achieve your planned activities by leaps and bounds.
Embrace the year with greater determination to be better, to do more.
Don’t let limitations hinder you. Leap over them. Think beyond the bounds. Exceed expectations.
Now that we are in the midst of celebrating MLQU’s 75th year, I encourage you to discover more about its history and legacy. Be inspired by the alumni luminaries who have passed through MLQU’s halls and gone on to contribute to the building of our nation, which is a continuous work in progress.
The original founders envisioned MLQU as a school for the molding of “nation builders.” As heirs of their legacy, the torched has been passed on to us. It is now our task to re-envision MLQU as an institution for molding and shaping future generations of young Filipinos living in a vastly changed world who are challenged to bring the country to its rightful place among the ranks of prosperous, technologically advanced first-world nations.
We need to work together— management, faculty, studentry and alumni. At this historic juncture, let us begin the year by committing ourselves to build the future of this venerable institution on the foundation of a distinguished legacy, proving that even with age, our school is still as relevant as ever and attuned to the needs of a vastly new different world.
Finally, I wish to take this opportunity to welcome our students (old and new) who enrolled for the second semester of School Year 2022 to 2023. I wish you the best of luck as you navigate yourselves through the academic challenges. The University Management is here to serve you. My Office is open to you. Feel free to come or let me know of your concerns through my email at officeofthepresident@mlqu.edu.ph.
All of them have stayed true to the vision of the school founders of becoming nation builders.
You, as a next gen nation builder, now have the opportunity to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us and do your part to ensure that their work is carried on into the future.
As we enter a new age powered by new communications technology, MLQU’s brand of education is being repurposed and re-calibrated in a new direction to adapt to the times.
The challenge is not just in the harnessing of new technologies. The challenge is how to make the student serve a meaningful purpose after graduation.
Now more than ever, our society has a need for courses like law, architecture and engineering, accountancy, business management and criminology to build our nation and its foundations must be strengthened.
The challenge is to produce a new generation of excellently-educated patriotic Filipinos to help propel our country to take its rightful place among the most progressive nations of the world.
Committed to rise to the challenge, the new MLQU now opens its doors to empower you to respond to the nation’s call.
Go through this virtual portal and explore and learn more about this venerable institution of almost half a century. Ponder on the kind of course that fits your talent and your aptitude and what your heart tells you.
I’m sure that at the end of your virtual exploration, you will find that MLQU is the ideal place to launch and build your career as a nation builder of the future.
