What’s up, Academe?

THE academe has integrated traditional as well as the millennial teaching and learning process to be in step with current trends. From the classroom, students go out to situate with the community and global thrusts.

The St. Theresa’s College has maintained its Developmental Theater course. Some 37 students, after learning the evolution and types of theatercraft, undertook experiential learning in scriptwriting, production, acting and theater marketing and media promotion.

The Ph.D. Literature and English students of the University of San Jose-R chose to visit the museums of Cebu City and the historical landmarks in Lapu-Lapu City. The first group, enrolled in Fiction of the World, will write original short stories using Cebu’s heritage and culture as setting or plot. The second group, which visited Bluewater Maribago, and the Lapu-Lapu Shrine, will analyze variations of English spoken by natives and foreign tourists.

Rustan’s 65th anniversary

The Rustan’s 65th Anniverssry exhibits at the 5th floor Makati feature Larrie Silva’s collections of Silvano, Silvastar and Lady Rustan. My brother, Larrie, introduced his versìons of Pret-a’Porte which made “ready to wear” fashionable and suitable to all ages. Hope this exhibit is brought to Cebu. Larrie was schooled in Paris and his many European, US and Asian travels provided him with varied fashion fusions. My co-Maryknoller Criselda Lontok has her own fashion craft which fits all sizes.
