The Foundation University community is in the thick of preparations for the holding of this year’s Kasadyaan Festival from Dec. 4-11.
The celebration, marked in the tourism calendar as one of two school-based festivities of Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental, will be highlighted by the Kasadyaan parada on Dec. 11.
The Parada started out as Foundation University’s version of the UP Lantern Parade, a tradition at the University of the Philippines where FU founder Dr. Vicente G. Sinco also headed as its 8th president.
With the theme FU@61: Wellness Generation Apil Tanan, this year’s celebration will have accents of fitness and environmental consciousness.
Contestants to this year’s Hara sa FU, which will be held on Dec. 9, will be using 100 percent recycled materials.
The FU Alumni Association will also hold a reunion on Saturday, Dec. 4, which will honor the silver and golden jubilarians. The day will start with a mass at 10 a.m. at the FU Chapel.
Alumni activities have been scheduled starting at 1:30 p.m. until the awarding of the Outstanding Alumni Awards at 3 p.m. at the Sofia Soller Sinco Hall, which will dovetail with the holding of the Hara sa FU Talent show.
