AFTER THREE years of service to the Loyola Schools (LS) as Vice President (VP), Ma. Assunta Cuyegkeng, Ph.D. will be stepping down from her position by the end of the school year.
University President Fr. Bienvenido Nebres, SJ released a memorandum early September stating that Cuyegkeng will be stepping down as VP due to personal reasons.
“It was with regret that I accepted Dr. Cuyegkeng’s resignation. I would have wished she could complete her second three-year term, but she has cogent personal reasons for asking to step down at this time,” Nebres said.
In an interview with The GUIDON, Cuyegkeng preferred not to state the exact reasons of her stepping down. “I’ve given my reasons to people who are close to me,” she said.
Vision-driven
Since 2006, Cuyegkeng has implemented many programs for development of the LS. According to School of Humanities Dean Luz Vilches, Ph.D., Cuyegkeng is perhaps known for her efforts in further improving Ateneo’s scholarship program, its faculty and staff development, its student formation and services, and its campaign for a better environment.
“[She’s] very driven and dedicated to carrying out the vision that has been set before her for the LS,” Vilches said.
According to former Sanggunian president Omi Castañar, Cuyegkeng is also a leader who expects results.
“She is a leader who … has spent her years of service pursuing that vision. Although she often delegates tasks to other administrators, she will always be known as a very hands-on VP … She is a woman of action who expects results,” he said.
Castañar added, however, that Cuyegkeng was more of a mother-figure when he served as Sanggu president. “I thought of her as someone like a fierce school principal or headmistress. But when I got to know her, I found out that she was more of a mother than a headmistress.”
