Your Guide to OrCom Week 2018: OrCom TM – Brand You
Written by Gab Lagmay
In less than a week from now, the BA Organizational Communication program will be celebrating its special day. On the 26th of September 1984, Dr. Angela Sarile, the dean then of the College of Arts and Sciences, formally founded the BA Organizational Communication program in the university.
UP Manila’s OrCom back then was the first of its kind in the country. A few years after, Dr. Sarile went on to establish the same program in UP Manila’s Taft Avenue neighbors, the De La Salle University.
With the growth and progress that the program has seen steadily since its establishment, the OrCommunity has every reason to celebrate.
…SO CELEBRATE IT IS!
