UP Cebu has witnessed a resurgence of active engagements from its beloved alumni after the restrictions imposed by the pandemic were lifted.

UPAA Cebu Chapter

The UPAA – Cebu Chapter (UPAA-CC) successfully organized the ‘Huni ug Hudyaka sa Pasko,’ a debut concert of UP Symphony Orchestra in Cebu City last December 2023 in collaboration with UP Cebu. The alumni and the Cebuano public were awed by the superb orchestra performance on the first night of the concert. An exclusive show on the second night was for the UP Cebu faculty, staff, and students. UPAA-CC also launched its Sablayera project last July 2023, which extended support to the graduating students of UP Cebu by offering free use of Sablay to the underprivileged. UPAA-CC also extended aid to the community, particularly a barangay in Lapu-lapu City that was ravaged by a blazing fire. The Board of Trustees also actively participated in the different events of UP Cebu such as the 84th Commencement Exercises, annual exhibition of the UP Cebu Fine Arts faculty, and the UP Cebu Christmas Tree Lighting.
