The purpose of this Multi-Media Oral History Program is to capture, preserve and share as detailed a history of the University’s service to the public from the individual experiences of its distinguished men and women for the benefit of the current and future generation of U.P. constituents.
Consequently, this Oral History Program will provide firsthand accounts of landmark events of U.P.’s leadership in Philippine higher education and research. This will be an extraordinary legacy.
The reflective and spoken accounts of these individuals (i.e., the “narrators”) will provide rich details and viewpoints that cannot be found in conventional written reports. Importantly, these multi-media recordings have the potential to become inspirational learning experiences for the current and future generations of U.P. students and the general public.
