About Us

In the bid to empower alumni to help each other, the Association came up with an alternative outreach program aptly coined “Alumni Tulungan Center”. As the name suggests, ATC is the flagship project of the Association in empowering alumni in helping each other in all types of distress call, from the simplest to the most complex concerns. Simple concerns may come in the forms of reunions, referrals, endorsements, job opportunities, news and updates. Complex matters may be emergency help for medical attention, volunteering in times of calamities, counseling, mortuary assistance, and a host of others.
ATC shall use both traditional media and state of the art technology in its information campaign. The different media range from snail mail, telephone brigade, and posters to text broadcast to major cellular networks, e-mails, web site postings, and electronic forums. ATC believes that information is power and together we can all find an answer to the perennial problem of apathy and passivity.
In the future, we envision an Association that does not only comprise of officers but thousands of DLSU-D alumni all to willing to share what they have for the greater glory of God through service to others. ANIMO LA SALLE!
