The first woman and lay president of a Lasallian institution of higher education and Saint Mary’s first woman Convocation honoree, Dr. Quebengco, Chancellor Emeritus of De La Salle University in Manila, is being recognized for her exemplary life-long leadership and service as a Lasallian educator in the Philippines. In 2007, she established the Rommel Quebengco Memorial Fund, which now supports the education of seven children of poor solo parents, as her loving tribute to her only son. More of her accomplishments include but are not limited to working with colleagues to develop the Educational Development Special Program, the Arts Management Program, and the program for the deaf at the De La Salle College of Saint Benilde. She has also received the highest honor bestowed on a Lasallian lay partner, official affiliation with the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
Dr. Quebengco will receive an honorary degree at the Academic Convocation on Wednesday, April 25th at 1:00 pm in the College Chapel. Our Saint Mary's College community is invited to celebrate excellence in Lasallian education by attending this centerpiece of De La Salle Week.
