The lineup begins with the CARES 75th Anniversary on September 26, followed by the opening of “Together We Build” exhibits, and the 121st CPU Foundation Day Exhibit on September 28 that will last until October 9.

Alumni activities will continue throughout the week, including the Welcome Fellowship Dinner with Together We Build Presentation, Iloilo City Tour, Sharing of Professional Journeys, Mr. and Ms. CPU Pageant, CPUAAI outreach, and PASUNDAYAG.

The celebration will also coincide with CPU’s 121st Foundation Day on October 1, featuring the Foundation Day Memorial Service, unveiling of the Foundation Day Marker, Foundation Day Fellowship, and Hopevale Musicale.

On October 2, the campus will come alive with University Week – Centralian Fest (UWCF) Activities leading to the main homecoming celebrations on October 3. The October 3 festivities will feature the Central Spirit Run, Alumni Homecoming & General Assembly, the UWCF Folkdance Contest, Work Student Alumni Association Homecoming & General Assembly, and lastly the Alumni Gala Night, highlighting the coronation of Alumni King and Queen and the Induction of CPUFOAAI Officers.
