Its use will contribute to the pride felt by the school’s graduates, employees, and parents, and will advance the school’s identity and image. The acronym CEFI as education’s institutional logo, can find its fire burning with the desire to seek knowledge, provide services and scholarship to deserving students and its community.

ALUMNI GIVE BACK PROGRAM
- We believe that interested and engaged alumni are vital members of the CEFI community. When they were still in the college/school, they were friendly, generous, loyal, and most of all, talented and the pride of their batch. It is because CEFI produce graduates who were nurtured with these attributes to become successful in their chosen path, hence, they want to show appreciation for the education and development the school provided them. One of the best indicator of love and loyalty to one’s alma mater is the extent to which one is willing to support the school financially or otherwise. So my dear alumni, it’s time to show your gratefulness to your school, “CEFI Give Back Program” is the means to extend your appreciation. So stay connected, give back! Your “gift” or “donation” will go a long way; the beneficiaries are the school’s adopted community of Mayao Crossing, Purok Langka 1 & 2 which need your support for community activities through the Institution’s project HELPS; Health, Literacy, Environment, Production Skills (LIVELIHOOD) and Safety and Security programs.

HISTORY

CEFI Alumni Association (CAA) is being established as a mother association of all alumni groups from different colleges/ departments. Although CEFI has graduated batches of alumni since the year 1975, the graduates were already having their own small meetings just to have a get-together of their batches, however, there was no known official organization formally established or named as Alumni Association, rather, the graduates formed their own small groups, by section or by course, and hold their reunion. It was only a few years back that the Nursing graduates formed a Nursing Alumni Association initiated by Batch 1993 and 1990 graduates who also had its own reunion during that time they had the event. There has also been a time when the institution attempted to gather all batches of CEFI alumni, however, it was represented by small attendees per batch only, but not all batches were represented, however, they called themselves the alumni group but with no formal election of officers occurred.

CEFI Alumni Association (CAA) is formally being launched today, July 3, 2018, in this website, firstly for the purpose of branding and giving the group of graduates an official name and secondly, to gather members to join the association and enlarge its membership. The association has also made its own logo to characterize the association.
