BES-HNS Foundation Inc. Inducted 54 Sigmans and Hiyas

Last January 17, 2019, Brod Oscar Jornacion inducted fifty-four (54) graduating members of the University of the East Manila Beta Epsilon Sigma (BES) Honors Society and Hiyas ng Silangan (HNS) Honor Society as Associate Members of the BES-HNS Foundation. As Associate Members, they can now partake in various Foundation activities and contribute towards achieving its mission and vision.

Dean Veronica Elizalde, the Dean of UE College of Business Administration, expressed her gratitude to the Foundation. She acknowledges that the Foundation plays an important role in the holistic development of the members of the honors societies. Since its establishment, it has been supporting them by providing academic scholarships, sponsorships to national conventions, teambuilding workshops, and relevant seminars. By doing this, the Foundation hopes that its beneficiaries will be well-prepared to face life outside the university and reach their full potential.

As Antoine de Saint-Exupery said, “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

The trustees and officers of the Foundation always encourage their junior counterparts to look at the bigger picture – the endless immensity of life. They continuously mentor their junior brods and sis to live life with excellence.
