For 25 long years of practicing their professions here and abroad, the members of Class 1986 of the University of Bohol College of Nursing (UBCN) took a break and returned back to their Alma Mater for an exciting homecoming last July 7-9, 2011.
With the by-word, Nurse nga Bol-ano da best! , the proud members of the White Hygieans Class ’86 held a 3-day activity to rekindle their camaraderie as former nursing students of the university. Started with a Eucharistic celebration at the Information Research Center (IRC) auditorium, the batch members held an introductory program with UB President Victoriano B. Tirol Jr. and Dean Isabelita G. Margate as guests. During the ceremony, the official roster of the class was read by Ms. Jesuah Retutas-Villamor, class president, followed by the awarding of White Hygieans Class ’86 project to the school.
On the second day, the class conducted a community service at Tinibgan, Maribojoc through distribution of goods to selected families. In the evening the former classmates were treated with sumptuous dinner and surprises during the gala night at the Metrocentre Hotel.
