On 28 January 2023, members of the Graduate School community gathered to celebrate their recent PAASCU accreditation – Level 1 accreditation status for their MAED, MMath, MLL, MBA, and MPA programs. The celebration commenced with a Thanksgiving Mass at the Christ the King Church, presided by Fr. Harvey Mateo, S.J.

After the mass, the faculty and staff of the Ateneo Graduate School headed to Coko Cafe of the Conchita Madrigal Building, for a fellowship and simple merienda. The  event was organized by the Graduate School Office headed by Dr. Malu Barcillano, the Dean of the Graduate School.

To accommodate for the thanksgiving celebration, adjustments on class schedules were made during the first day of the face-to-face classes.

The eucharistic celebration and special gathering was a time for members of the ADNU Graduate School community to commune, give thanks, and finally meet on site after a long hiatus in lieu of the previous COVID-19 restrictions. This momentous celebration and yet another milestone shows the hard work and dedication of the institution to uphold the quality of the Ignatian education being lived-up by the entire Atenean Community.
