We tell our students that “life after high school” is di!erent—but how have we prepared them for it? For this panel discussion, we have invited four of our alumni to “come home” and tell us frankly how we have or have not succeeded in equipping them for the real world. What are some of the things they wish we had taught them in high school, but for some reason, failed to do so. We hope this candid discussion on Jesuit education from those who matter the most will provoke us to take a hard look at our schools in order to improve our practice.

OVERVIEW OF THE SESQUICENTENNIAL CONGRESSJULY 12 !14, 2009

The thirty-!fth Superior General of the Society of Jesus may hail from the West, but he has dedicated most of his missionary life to the East. Reverend Father Adolfo Nicolas, SJ, the current leader of a congregation of more than 19,000 strong, was born in Spain in 1936 and attained his degree in theology at Tokyo’s Sophia University in 1964. Ordained a priest in 1967, he returned to his alma mater in Japan to complete his masteral and doctoral studies in theology. He subsequently taught systematic theology at Sophia University.

After serving as Director of the East Asian Pastoral Institute at the Ateneo de Manila University and then as Rector of the theologate in Tokyo, Father Nicolas was appointed Provincial of the Jesuit Province of Japan in 1993. In 2004, he was named President of the Jesuit Conference for Eastern Asia and Oceania, a post he maintained until he was elected Superior General in January 19, 2008.

In his keynote address, Father General will speak on what he considers the issues and challenges confronting Jesuit education today, especially in the light of the 35th General Congregation. He will share his insights and questions with the leaders and educators of the Jesuit education apostolate in the Philippines. He will also take this opportunity to listen to the experiences and concerns of our colleagues and partners in mission.

Major Conference 2Day 1 ! 03:00 to 04:30 PM

Reverend Father Bienvenido Nebres, SJ, current President of the Ateneo de Manila University, was born in Baguio City in 1940. He was ordained in 1956 and completed his Master of Science and Ph.D. in Mathematics at Stanford University, California from 1965 to1970. Fr. Nebres founded the Mathematical Society of the Philippines in 1972. That same year he helped establish the Southeast Asian Mathematical Society. After serving as Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences of Ateneo de Manila and then as Rector of the Loyola House of Studies, he was appointed Provincial Superior of the Jesuits in the Philippines from 1983-1989. As the longest-serving President of the Ateneo de Manila University, Fr. Nebres has initiated several key movements including the basic education development through the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED), public health development through the Ateneo’s Leaders for Health Program and the establishment of the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health.

In 1999, Fr. Nebres was inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame of the Asian Activities Center of Stanford University. Two years later, he was accorded the rank of O!cer in the National Order of Merit of the French Republic. In 2008, he was honored as among the Department of Science and Technology’s “50 Men and Women of Science.” No wonder Fr. Ben Nebres is today considered one of the Jesuit education icons in the Philippines and Asia.

In his keynote address, Fr. Nebres will discuss the role he envisions our basic education apostolate should play in the task of nation-building. He will joined by three panelists, who will be drawing from their own involvement in Ateneo de Manila University’s school improvement projects covering 430 public schools in Quezon City, Paranaque, Nueva Ecija, Leyte, La Union, and Negros Occidental.
