Welcome to Miriam College

Who we are
We are some 50,000 graduates of Maryknoll/Miriam College – from grade school, high school, and college. That is a formidable number of women (and a few men) who have had the opportunity of living the Maryknoll/Miriam educational experience and who spent the formative times of their lives learning from beloved Maryknoll Sisters and outstanding lay leadership.
Our institutional journey is marked with significant milestones:
We are close to commemorating the 100th year (2026) of the founding of Maryknoll College.
The school continues its evolution as a preeminent Catholic college founded by pioneering Maryknoll Sisters in 1926 to a progressive and contemporary institution led, since 1976, by a lay community who sustain the Sisters’ strong beliefs in service and excellence.
Now on its 99th year as Miriam College, its alumni continue to influence and inspire their families, organizations, and communities with their commitment to making a difference and leading with a sense of mission.

Mobility for dignity
Maryknoll alumni in action in ‘Mobility for Dignity’ wheelchair distribution program by the Rotary Club of Manila 101
Twelve mobility-impaired patients were given wheelchairs during Mobility for Dignity, a project of the Rotary Club of Manila 101 (RC Manila 101) in partnership with the Maryknoll/Miriam College Alumni Association (MMCAA) at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) on May 30, 2025.
Mobility for Dignity serves as the signature program of RC Manila 101, a local chapter of the international service organization Rotary International. In collaboration with Wheelchair Foundation, Chair The Love, and the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), the project has distributed wheelchairs to beneficiaries in the Philippines since 2021.
The program was hosted by Ms. Majella Tumangan-Villaroman, a member of the MMCAA Board of Directors, executive director, and former president of the RC Manila 101.
PCMC medical director Dr. Maria Eva Jopson welcomed the attendees by recalling her encounters with patients who relied on their wheelchairs as they championed resilience. She then introduced Ms. Norwina Eclanal of PRC, who read PRC secretary general Dr. Gwendolyn Pang’s message for the opening remarks, followed by the remarks of RC Manila 101 President Ms. Sherill Quintana.
On behalf of the MMCAA, Chairperson of the Board Ms. Elaine Urbano delivered a response highlighting how the collaboration is rooted in compassion and shared purpose, as well as their continued commitment to volunteerism through Project MMaria, MMCAA’s quick response program. Attendees from the MMCAA Board included Chairperson of the Board Ms. Elaine Urbano, VP for special projects, Ms. Selina Surla-Angels, and Director Ms. Doris Granada, along with Miriam College Alumni Engagement Office director Dr. Ma. Margarita Acosta. Miriam College alumna Dr. Ma. Amparo Agrava was also in attendance as the Officer-in-Charge of the Medical Services Department of PCMC.
Miriam College president Amb. Laura Quiambao-del Rosario, in her response, spoke about the crucial role the Red Cross plays in society in providing humanitarian aid and saving lives. She also talked about the importance of civil society organizations in bringing about development assistance.
The wheelchairs were distributed after PRC staff briefed the beneficiaries on wheelchair care instructions. Several parents of the beneficiaries expressed their gratitude through short remarks. Two Miriam College HEU faculty members were among the beneficiaries.
