CAS-IT leads Tilipunan computer literacy project

The College of Arts & Science (CAS), with its dean, Dr. Isidoro Cruz, spearheaded the kick off of the Tilipunan Computer Literacy Project last 6 December 2009 in Ginomoy, Alimodian, Iloilo. The college turned-over to the Ginomoy Barangay Council a computer unit for community use, particularly in the preparation of documents and incorporating computer lessons for the Tilipunan children.


To start off the alternative education, faculty members from the CAS-Information Technology (IT) Department, with its head, Prof. Josephine de Asis, and Tilipunan volunteer Mr. Dominicio Laude, spent their time last 29 May 2010 in Alimodian to facilitate hand-on basic computer training to barangay officials and community volunteers. IT Professors Christopher Langrio and Rodrigo Delmoro served as speakers for Microsoft Word and Excel. The training will arm the community in improving documents preparation in the barangay. For School Year 2010-11, the college, with its faculty coordinator for community service, Ms. Irene Grace Galon, and the student volunteers, will conduct a series of computer education sessions with the Tilipunan children.
