The 2012 Thomasian Engineers Solemn Investiture
====================================================================
by PAM

The big deadlines taken care of, the semester is over... and, yeah, fantastic five years of learning, awesome discoveries, successes and failures, back-breaking and spirit-squirming struggles to clear formidable hurdles, breathtaking discovery of God's love and mercy through Thomasian ideals, the warmth of camaraderie, young love (and lost loves... and lost-and-found love, and unreciprocated love) and crushes, drama (lots of drama!), exhilarating fun and... more fun - crazy fun... a thousand and one miracles and last-minute breakthroughs later... and they're off - to graduation!   Whew!

Our Thomasian Engineers Neocentennial Batch gathered at the the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion this afternoon - a first for the Faculty of Engineering, dressed impeccably in their academic gowns, to receive their Thomasian degrees. Their loving parents, their friends, our support staff, and us - their mentors - joined them as they passed an important milestone in their lives.  

Five (or more) long years of hard toil... and then this!  Ah, sweet!

Full-fledged Thomasians now...


The Thomasian Pledge...


...CONGRATULATIONS, Thomasian Engineers Neocentennial Batch! :)


Our Neocentennial Batch... starting their first day as full-pledge
Thomasian engineers the best way possible... by thanking God.
  
CONGRATULATIONS to our new Thomasian Chemical Engineers!  You all did a fantastic job, and we're very, very proud.  THANK YOU for five years of incredibly awesome memories.  WE WILL MISS YOU!  All the very best, guys!  :)  God bless....


Godspeed...
