Sa pagdiriwang ng ika-30 anibersaryo ng UP Open University, malugod kayong inaanyayahan ng All UP Workers Union (AUPWU) at All UP Academic Employees Union - OU Chapter (AUPAEU - OU) sa “Pamantasang Bukas, Tahanang Bukas” sa ika-24 ng Pebrero 2025. Ang pagbubukas ng tahanan ay magsisimula sa ganap na ala-1 hanggang alas-5 ng hapon sa Community Hub, UP Open University, National Highway, Barangay Maahas, Los Baños, Laguna. Nais naming buksan ang pinto ng Unibersidad upang maipakilala ang gawain, adbokasiya, at maging ang mumunting komunidad namin sa loob ng pamantasan.Magkakaroon ng tour sa aming mapagkalingang tahanan – mga espasyong hindi karaniwang nakikita sa publiko ngunit buhay na patunay ng pagsusulong ng open and distance e-learning (ODeL). Bukod sa pagbisita sa mga espasyo, ipapakita rin sa atin sa unang pagkakataon ang exhibit ni Carlo Dimaano, Artist-in-Residence/Futurist-in-Residence ng Faculty of Information and Communication Studies na pinamagatang Aglomerasyon: Mga Tunog at Imahe ng Ilusyon at Alyenasyon. At siyempre, magkakaroon din ng mga palaro at mumunting papremyo. Halina’t samahan kami sa pagbubukas ng ika-30 anibersaryo ng UPOU! Umaasa kami sa inyong pagdalo!#UPOpenUniversity #publicservice #UPOUat30 #AUPAEU #AUPWU ... See MoreSee Less
