About Us

8 April 2005                               

Dear Alums of the Ateneo de Naga,

This website is dedicated to our alumni and alumnae.

We wanted a name for it that would be easy to remember. First, we thought of "adnu-aa." But we thought that people might confuse that for AdNU Alcoholics Anonymous. That is an image we have enough trouble avoiding during our homecomings!

We considered: "adnu-alumni." Our alumnae, however, would have pilloried us for leaving them out. On the other hand, for Ateneo de Naga University Alumni and Alumnae Association www.adnu-alumni_alumnae.org was far too long.

So, we arrived at www.adnu-alum.org or adnu-alum for short. As these things go, we removed the conventional gender distinctions out of respect for all manner of genders, traditional and otherwise;

Through adnu-alum, we want to keep adnu bridged to alums througout the world. We also want to keep alums bridged to one another.

So whether you belong to our venerable platinum-gold batches, our current silver jubiliarians, or those just newly graduated, make it a point to visit
adnu-alum frequently. We promise you much news on whatever's going on with adnu or with our alums!

That is, if you help us! Let us know where you are and what you are doing; tell us your stories. We're interested in these stories whether you graduated in 1950 or in 2005. Send us your fotos old and new, with or without your families. If you're organized into a local AdNU Alum Association, send us news on your current officers and activities. Are you organizing a dinner dance, a Penafrancia Fiesta celebration, a homecoming for the All Ateneo Alumni Association? Let us know. Let us know how you expect things to turn out. And what actually happened. We'll pass this on!

Tell us also how you share the benefits of your Ateneo de Naga University education with others!

Even if we've had to close the old Ateneo de Naga Alumni Affairs Office, Ms. Cha Noble is the new Presidential Assistant for AdNU Alum Affairs. She works right in my office with the team of my office staff. She'll keep you in touch. And she'll keep in touch.

Dios mabalos sa indo gabos!

Sincerely in Our Lord,
