Approximately 270 GEO students gathered together last 4th of March for the Opening Ceremony. The GEO students were introduced to their professors as well as their teaching assistants (TAs). The GEO Management and TAs welcomed the students and announced some reminders such as signing up for their Clubs, English Clinic appointment system, class attendance policy, OBF Visits, among others.
The Club Filipino TAs (FTAs) were also present during the opening ceremony. They gave a brief introduction and a short demonstration of what students can expect in their respective clubs. FTAs presented their powerpoints and videos to the GEO students. Some even sang and danced during the event.
