Pioneers & Changemakers of the GEO Program

Thank you Scholars!!!

A number of Filipino students serve as Teaching Assistants (TAs) in the GEO program. Some of them graduated already last August 2011, others just graduated yesterday, February 16. For the Filipino teaching assistants who graduated, I believe that I can speak on behalf of most of us. On behalf of your co-scholars here, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all your wonderful contribution. We will indeed remember your marvelous involvement and great participation in GEO. But most importantly, we will forever remember the mark you made in our individual lives. Thank you and we pray for the new journey that you are to take. All the Best our dear friends!!!

We love you and we will surely miss you!!!

Unsung heroes of the GEO program

Global English Outreach Program has been a very successful program not only because of the professors that work in this program but more so because of the Teaching Assistants (TAs) who toil laboriously, giving all their efforts for the betterment of the program. They are the breath and life of the GEO program, doing and organizing class activities, club events, team competitions, among others. From the preparation, down to the execution and the post work, they always do an outstanding job. They are the initiators of change, implementing and revolutionizing the program. They are the people who find innovative ways to make the curriculum a better one. They persevere despite the odds, always working for the greater good. These individuals do their work well and accomplish commendable results.

Indeed, they are the unsung heroes who make a substantive contribution that at times go unacknowledged. So this time, we would like to give thanks to our Teaching Assistants.

You are the unsung heroes of this program. Without you, this program would not be as successful.

Let's play...Speed Quiz!

On the 30th of June, GEO 6 Summer Camp took off its first Team Competition held in Global Lounge. Speed Quiz was actively participated by the GEO students grouped into 5 teams. They are New Zealand, Ireland, the U.S.A., Canada, and Australia. Also, each team is supervised by one professor.

Team Ireland is voted as the Funniest Team during the event.

In the end, Team New Zealand bagged the first place with 100 points; USA, second place with 90 points; Canada in third place with 80 points; Australia in fourth place with 70 points and lastly, Ireland with 60 points.

A bonus award of 10 points was also given to the Funniest Team (Team Ireland) and they rejoiced as the team tied up with Australia with 70 points each.
