It was a memorable reunion—30 years in the making—when pioneer students from the UP Visayas-Miagao campus gathered for an intimate Christmas get-together at the Bonifacio Global City recently, three decades after graduating from college and leaving the august halls of their Alma Mater.  Attendees were those whose student numbers start from 86 to 90.  The group did not only look back at the fun times, but they also looked forward and discussed programs and activities that can support UP Visayas.
