Our common vision, fruitful experience of collaboration, and mutual trust have brought us here today,\u201d she said. Focus on Creative Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n MC Alviera will be offering basic to higher education programs, including short-term and vocational courses. Hybrid modality of education will also be among the school\u2019s special program features. MC\u2019s third campus will be focusing on developing innovative programs that will nurture a creative generation. This thrust is not only seen to keep MC Alviera distinct from other well-established schools in the region but also respond to the needs and interests of a thriving business and international community in Pampanga.<\/p>\n Amb. Quiambao-Del Rosario, in her message, congratulated the teams under Alviera, ALI, and MC for putting the project together. \u201cI welcome this additional opportunity for us to partner with the private sector specifically, Ayala Land Inc.,\u201d she said. \u201cIt gives me a double pride that the private business sector is getting into the most important field of cooperation–the field of education,\u201d she added. Aside from a focus on creative programs, the President also envisions a borderless delivery of education through select online program offerings, reaching out to learners based outside the region and the country.<\/p>\n Echoing the MC President\u2019s message, Ms. Tupaz also thanked the ALI and MC teams for making the \u2018landmark\u2019 event possible. The ALI executive, who is also a proud MC alumna, extended her gratitude to the MC Board for trusting ALI once more with the new endeavor.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough Alviera we can provide an environment that is conducive for learning, promotes an appreciation for nature sustainability, presents an opportunity to generate employment, and overall provides an environment that allows Miriam to develop caring competent, committed and empowered individuals who contribute positively to society,\u201d she said. \u201cWe look forward to Miriam (College) rising in Alviera.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t wait to hear the first bell ring,\u201d she added. The school is set to open its doors in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s happening!
