The student nurse volunteers of UC Nursing CESDEV took the stage of Cebu Coliseum to be acknowleged and were pleasantly surprised with a specially made tribute showcasing the numerous outreach activities initiated and joined by the volunteers. The Audio-Visual Presentation brought about fond memories and made them realize once more about their convictions as volunteers - TO SERVE.
The student nurses who served the Community Extension Service and Development (CESDEV) of the College of Nursing were duly recognized for their valuable service. These student nurse volunteers went beyond the call of duty by serving the community - expanding the reach of the service beyond the academe into the homes of the people whose programs and services were truly needed.
While everybody else were in a frenzy for a photo opportunity with the Perlas awardees, a number of students gathered around Atty. Augusto W. Go to pose for some photographs. After a few clicks ... a fine lady approached the amateur student photographer and offered to take the camera so the student can have her pictures with Atty Go. Must be very thrilled to know that the shutterbug who offered to take pictures was no other than Chancellor Candice Yvette Gotianuy..jpg)
