Selected faculty and non-teaching staff participated in a series of team-building activities on May 27-29, 2009 in Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte.

    The three-day event emphasized the need for teamwork among the 86 university personnel who joined the trip.  The personnel were assigned to different groups and were tasked to accomplish different activities geared to foster cooperation among the team members.

A commitment to actualize the university’s vision of serving the needs of the community spurred the Urdaneta City University to launch a series of extension programs.

"Responding to the needs of the community is a key tenet of UCU’s programs.  Through its various activities, UCU proves that it is a university with a social conscience," said Dr. Elizabeth A. Montero, university president and chief architect of the programs.
Proofs of her statement abound in the university’s outreach programs for senior citizens and children, including the children with special needs.
All these extension programs were held during the summer until the early part of June.
