Welcoming summer with good company and even better memories ☀️🌙

Last May 12, ASEC held its final interaction of the school year with NUS, bringing together students for a night of fun conversations, shared experiences, and exciting games. What a meaningful way to close the school year and celebrate the community! ✨🤝

Here’s a look back at some of the moments from the night! 📸

💙✨ Through our Ateneo Global Student Ambassador (Inbound) series, we share the unique perspectives of our international exchange students as they experience life at Ateneo and in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Meet Saleh from the United States of America! 🇺🇸

For this feature, we invited Saleh to share a photo that captures what the Philippines means to him and reflect on how his time at Ateneo has helped him experience and understand the country in a deeper way.

“To me, the jeepney is what I think of when I hear the word ‘Philippines.’ It’s part of Filipino culture, with millions of people riding it every day to commute across the country. People of all ages and backgrounds share a few moments together, enduring the heat and cramped spaces just to get to their next destination. I also love how people work together without even speaking — passing money to the driver and getting the change back seamlessly. Even as a foreigner, my first few jeepney rides couldn’t have been easier.

Studying at Ateneo gave me the chance to experience traveling around the city through jeepneys, and through these small adventures, I found memorable stories I’ll always carry with me. Without Ateneo, I wouldn’t have met people who taught me how to navigate the initially confusing routes or helped me gain the confidence to ride on my own.”

Sometimes, understanding a country begins with the everyday journeys that bring people together 💙

Spring may be ending, but the memories are here to stay. 🌸☀️

Last April 23, ASEC held its Spring Farewell Dinner with our 2nd Semester International Members to celebrate the friendships and the moments that made this semester unforgettable 🥂

Though goodbyes are never easy, this night served as a reminder that the connections built through ASEC will last far beyond one semester. 🤝
