Welcome to School Year 2008-2009!

As we face another busy year ahead of us, allow me to fill you in on the latest happenings in the Physics Department:

13 Freshmen + 1 shiftee:

Mainly due to the generous allowances from DOST and Portal Scholarships, the freshman population has entered the double-digit territory again. The last time freshman population reached these levels was in the 1st Sem of SY2005-2006. Members of that batch are now in their senior year.
In addition to the freshmen, the department also has a shiftee from the Math department in the name of Philip Palafox.

3 New Teachers

Our department has recently hired three (3) new faculty members:

Mrs. Giselle Ann Alcoran-Alvarez, BS Phys (SU), M Phys (USC)
Ms. Blesilda Rachel Esterioso, BS Phys (SU), MS Phys Cand. (USC)
Mr. Nelvin Quiambao, BS Phys (SU), MS Phys Cand. (SU)

Click here to see when these three graduated from SU.

The department decided on hiring the three (3) teachers to augment our depleted faculty roster due to the absence of Dr. Hope Bandal and Ms. Liza Marie Dangkulos and the overwhelming number of students who take physics subjects in the 1st Semester. Dr. Bandal is on Sabbatical Leave, and will be back in the 2nd Semester. Ms. Dangkulos is pursuing an MS degree in Physics at MSU-IIT, and is scheduled to beef up our faculty roster in 2010.

Freshman Orientation

To welcome the new BS Physics students, the department has scheduled the Freshman Orientation on Sunday, June 15 at Dream Park. Assembly will be in front of VH at 9 AM.
