The University of the Philippines Alumni Association of San Francisco (UPAASF) teams up with the UP System Office of Student Development Services to unveil a groundbreaking online mentorship initiative for UP Diliman scholars. Launched today, November 8, 2023, this program is a first-of-its-kind effort to connect San Francisco Bay Area professionals with UP students in the Philippines.
The pioneering UP alumni mentor lineup features renowned names such as retired UN Advisor Jim Cortes, Bank of America’s Sonia Delen, SCORE-SF’s Rosario “Chato” Calderon, and many more seasoned professionals across various industries.
Mentees will engage in design thinking sessions, strategically planning their career trajectories, identifying opportunities, and committing to actionable goals. This digital mentorship platform promises a robust exchange of ideas, fostering a community that champions professional growth and achievement.

UP alumni through the years have continued supporting not only their university but the Philippines as well. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UPAASF and the UP Hong Kong Alumni sent assistance to the Philippine General Hospital to protect the country’s medical frontliners and students.
