UP ACM Wins 4th International Award
Academic Year 2004-2005: A newly resurrected Filipino student org captures two of five ACM Student Chapter Excellence Awards, representing Asia in the winners’ circle.
Academic Year 2005-2006: The org bags its third Chapter Excellence Award. Again, it is the sole Asian org in the quintet.
Academic Year 2006-2007: The UP ACM wins its fourth straight Chapter Excellence Award! Now, that’s consistency for you.
Here’s the email that the org’s current officers (I’m already an alumnus) received from ACM HQ (via the UP ACM blog):
I am pleased to inform you that the University of Philippines Student chapter has been chosen as a co-winner of the Outstanding Chapter Activities award. Congratulations!
The $500 check will be sent to the address you provided in your submission. Please let us know if we should send it somewhere else.
I noted above that you are a co-winner: we recognized two chapters in this category– the other winner is the University of Minho (Portugal).
Again, congratulations on your outstanding chapter program for the year. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Warm Regards,
Lauren Ryan
