Ateneo GSB faculty conference at Crimson Hotel August 6 to 9, 2013

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

On the 20th year after Alran Bengzon was appointed by Fr. Ben to head the AGSB, (and at the same time given the title of VP for Professional Schools) Dr. Bengzon praised Dean Albert Buenviaje for the upward trajectory that AGSB has taken after he left the reins to Dean Albert.  He started out rebuilding the GSB by asking the question "What is so Ateneo, so A about Ateneo GSB)

In the morning of August 7, 2013, Fr. Pierre SJ, a Frenchman discussed "Change in Ignatian Time" and made Pope Francis as an example (however many doubt how Pope Francis can really handle the stubborn elephant of curia when he comes home from Brazil World Youth Day celebration.  The idea is to remind the faculty and staff to embrace change.

And there is a lot of change that is going to happen:

Dean Albert is resigning by March 2014.

Dr. Alran has been retired and is replaced by Dr. Tonette Angeles. VP Angeles wants to push the borders of AGSB:  about the ASEAN integration, internationalization, .

The new dean is going to be Dr Rudy Ang who heads SOM

The President Fr. Jett Villarin wants sharing of resources:  faculty, teaching resources etc between AGSB and Loyola;  however he was a little tentative on the question and answer portion.

The question and answer portion, with Pres Jett, and VP Tonette I hope did much to remove the apprehension of many old faculty and professionals who cant do research

The strategic plan in an effort ot comply with AAGSBI did not incoporate the differentiation the USP of Ateneo, and the new directions of VP for APS

"Be brave "- Fr Jett Villarin, Ateneo president tells GSB graduates

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Rizal  PHL   | August 5, 2013

Pres Jett Villarin, who presided over the mass in honor of the AGSB ASG graduates yesterday enjoined the graduates to be brave in view of the vicious world they are to face.

They will face a world full of lying, and they must be true to themselves and not join the lying.

They must wear the Ateneo badge with honor and pride. 

And yes he wants them to be rich and powerful, but not be consumed by wealth and power.

Congratulations to Fr Jett Villarin, the 30th President of Ateneo de Manila Yesterday

Our generation needs an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION.

Yesterday, on the occasion of the Birthday of Mama Mary, Fr. Jett Villarin, a JESUIT, a scientist, and musician (as the Phil Daily Inquirer describes him) was formally installed in an investiture as the 30th President of the Ateneo de Manila University. It came at the day after the news that Ateneo slid down from 300th place in the world ranking of universities and colleges.

This site wishes Our dear Father, all the power and success as the new President of Ateneo. May it be a real institution for nation building and/or healing a wounded nation

Ateneo GSB graduation yesterday, CMDD Message from The Ateneo President, Fr. Jett

Every generation needs a revolution - an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION.

Yesterday was the graduation of of many masters of the Ateneo Graduate School of Business and School of Government. (The Graduation went on despite UAAP basketball game between Ateneo and FEU - the graduation must go on you!?)

Dean Albert Buenviaje mentioned it was an occasion of many firsts: First time the new Ateneo Fr. Jett spoke before the AGSB graduates, first time the MBE program of Ateneo (formerly part of AIM)has graduates since the program started; first time that there is a family of 8, belonging to the Angeles family graduated together with Masters degree.

Fr Jett, the new Ateneo President, and the commencement speaker has these message to the graduates:

l. Begin with the end in mind. Our ultimate end is to live with God. This purpose gives a different perspective as we deal with wealth and power in the field of business; wealth and power are difficult to deal with but SJ are expert in dealing with the "dark side."

2. CMDD as you deal with power and wealth:

l. Create

2. Multiply

3. Distribute

4. Direct.
