University of Antique Tario-Lim Memorial Campus Celebrates bUtlAk 2025
The University of Antique Tario-Lim Memorial Campus brought together students, faculty, and administrators in its annual bUtlAk celebration held on August 22, 2025, at the Recreational Fitness Center. The gathering served as a warm welcome for new students while also reinforcing the values of passion, service, and excellence that the institution upholds.
The voices of the younger generation were highlighted early in the program as new students Joanna Abigail R. Oso, a Grade 7 student, and Samantha Nicole Oraba, a first-year BEEd student, shared their expectations and aspirations for their journey at the university. Their heartfelt messages reflected the eagerness and determination of those just beginning their academic path.
One of the highlights of the event was the introduction of the university’s head units and offices, where students were acquainted with the leaders and key officials who will guide their academic journey. Among them were Director of Academic Affairs Dr. Charlene Joy R. Amar, Director for Administration and Finance Juliet D. Salvacion, and Director for Research, Extension, and Innovation Dr. Garner Algo Alolod, along with faculty representatives from different colleges. Their presence reinforced the message that support and guidance are always within reach for every student.
The orientation segment gave new learners a clearer view of the services available to them. Topics such as admission and registration, student services, discipline, library resources, guidance counseling, health protocols, and campus security were thoroughly explained by university officials and coordinators. This ensured that students not only felt welcomed but also informed and prepared for the challenges and opportunities of university life.
The celebration concluded with a welcome song, an open forum where students had the chance to voice out their concerns, and closing remarks delivered by Dr. May Lynn M. Farren, Associate Dean of CCIS. Her message emphasized unity, support, and the importance of making every effort count in the pursuit of success.
Moreover, the bUtlAk 2025 celebration was more than just an event; it was a testament to the University of Antique’s commitment to nurturing not only excellent learners but also well-rounded individuals ready to face the future.
