Yet another year for Ateneo de Zamboanga University to celebrate Social Involvement Month or SIMO ‘08 this September. It will be a month long event for social development. This year’s theme is dubbed as “Layag! Journeying towards Social Development” .

It showcases a series of activities geared towards exposing the community to social realities in the goal of inculcating in them the desire for selfless social involvement and service. For the whole month, usually September, alternative classes, concerts, exposure trips, education and information campaigns and seminars and fora, among others are conducted for the whole community.

And, I’m in for the spelunking trip. Last year, I was to do this but wasn’t able to go since I woke up late because it was raining that Saturday. And I just hope I can make it this time. I have been facinated with caves but haven’t visited one yet and I just hope that this one will come to realization.

Like last year, the registration for SIMO ‘08 will be online via the MyADZU Portal. If you haven’t register yet, please follow the instructions as posted in the website. Just remember this following dates…

  • Validation of SIMO ALTERNATIVE CLASSES will be on September 1 - 4, 2008 at the College Lobby/Catwalk. Please pay the necessary enrollment fees on these dates.
  • On September 05, 2008 all students who failed to validate the classes they chose will lose their slot even if they have been able to register.

So, register now before you run out of slot coz they are limited. Hope all Ateneans will enjoy being with friends and classmates during this event. And, for sure I will enjoy spelunking and will finally see the formation of stalactites and stalagmites.
