I
realize that the participation of the dean of college in the activity of the
faculty cannot be underestimated. Last February 16, 2017, the college of arts
and sciences won the 2nd place (or First Runner Up. The champion of
the contest was the College of Education) in the faculty frolic under the big
college category. All I can is that the participation of our dean is a big
factor to the success of the contest.
His
presence from Day 1 up to the last day of the practice serves as a sort of intimidation.
It is of natural instance that when the superior is present, the subordinates
would attend the practice without any second thought. He was there from the
beginning until the end of every practice observing and assisting in whatever
way he could in the finale part of the presentation. In short, all I can say is
that his presence is intimidating, yet inspiring at the same time.
Second,
his interest in the contest led him to participate by joining the dance during
the finale. By the way, the concept of the presentation was about GOT TALENT
where each department has to give a 2-minute presentation either dancing, or
singing or short, funny drama. After each department did their part, together,
the CAS faculty-participants, would gather in the middle of the stage and have
the mass dance before doing the exit. And the dean was joyously dancing with
all his heart out.
And
lastly, his support is unwavering by providing us with arroz caldo during the practice. The practice was done from 6:00 to
7:30PM. Undeniably it was a time for dinner, but yet he took the initiative to
be the provider to our hungry stomachs. Thus everyone was energetic and
cooperative throughout the practice.
So, every time there is an event like the
faculty frolic, expect that teachers would do their best to bring out their
natural talent only when the head of the unit is actively present,
participating and supporting the group with the end in mind of achieving the
goal, that is, of winning the contest.
