Ralph Rae Glindo: Global UGrad Grantee and Dean's Lister in US University

Ralph Rae R. Glindo, a 5th year Environmental Engineering student of the Technological Institute of the Philippines (T.I.P.), was chosen as one of the four Filipino students to receive the Global Undergraduate Exchange Program scholarship for School Year (SY) 2014-2015. Early January, Glindo was sent as an exchange student to Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) for the spring 2015 semester where he took up Pre-Environmental Engineering.

The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program, a scholarship grant under the Fulbright Scholarship Program administered by the Philippine-American Educational Foundation (PAEF), is awarded to outstanding students from non-elite and underrepresented groups in East Asia. According to Glindo, his experience through the scholarship made him see the world in a new light.

“It gave me a broader perspective in life and made me realize that I need to be adaptive and sociable with people of different cultures and personalities. It really opened me up to a lot of new things,” he said. “I also realized that despite the difference in the method of instruction there in the US, in terms of the courses’ difficulty level, T.I.P. is at par with them,” he added.

Glindo successfully completed the all-expense-paid exchange program in May 2015 attending four (4) courses namely: Science & Technology of Solar Energy, Hazardous Waste Remediation, Sustainability in Engineering, and American National Government. Receiving A, A, B+, and B+ grades in his respective courses earned him a slot on the Dean’s List of the U.A. Whitaker College of Engineering (WCE).

In recognition of his outstanding academic performance, T.I.P. President, Dr. Elizabeth Quirino-Lahoz, awarded Ralph Rae with a full scholarship in T.I.P. QC for the 1st semester, SY 2015-2016.

When asked what advice he could give other younger T.I.P. students who would also like to be Global UGrad scholars, he said, “There’s a bigger world out there so don’t be afraid to try new things, bigger things. When you see a good opportunity, seize it.”

Glindo is set to graduate from T.I.P. this coming October 2015. He plans to work first in the Philippines and hopes to explore other opportunities including taking a master’s degree abroad.

“T.I.P. harnesses the students’ abilities in solving everyday problems and rational thinking that is why I strongly believe that our graduates are well-equipped to compete head to head with other nationals abroad,” he concluded.

The T.I.P. Inhinyera Club was officially launched on August 18, at the Anniversary Halls of T.I.P. QC and T.I.P. Manila. At the launch, the organization’s new members and first charter of student officers for the school year 2015–2016 were inducted. The Inhinyera Board of Advisors made up of program chairs and faculty members from T.I.P. Manila and T.I.P. QC were also introduced to the T.I.P. community.

The T.I.P. Inhinyera Club, the brainchild of T.I.P.’s Executive Vice President, Angel Lahoz, is part of an advocacy that aims to give young women the opportunity to explore and build an interest in engineering, to empower and inspire them to nurture their creativity and innovative spirit and make a difference in the world through engineering. It is the only club of its kind in the Philippines.

The T.I.P. Inhinyera Club student officers are made up of highly qualified students and academic achievers coming from the different engineering programs of T.I.P. They are headed by a unified Inhinyera President for T.I.P. Manila and T.I.P. QC, Jessica Pabillore, a 5th year BS Mechanical Engineering student from T.I.P. Quezon City (1st photo, 6th from left), together with Vice Presidents, Inna Victoria Puno, a 5th year BS Electronics Engineering student from T.I.P. Manila (2nd photo, 3rd from left), and Pauline Nicole Bernadette Luna, a 3rd year BS Electrical Engineering student from T.I.P. QC (1st photo, 1st from left).

The Inhinyera Club is governed by a board made up of T.I.P. officers who are also women engineers. They are led by Vice President for Strategic Initiatives and Chairperson of Gender Development and Inhinyera (GADI), Dr. Rosalinda Valdepeñas (Civil Engineer), with GADI Co-Chairpersons, Dr. Jesusa Padilla (Electronics Engineer), Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture of T.I.P. QC, and Engr. Marianne Yumul (Electrical Engineer), Chairperson of the Electrical Engineering Program of T.I.P. Manila.

During the launch, T.I.P. President, Dr. Elizabeth Quirino-Lahoz, who served as induction officer and keynote speaker, impressed on her belief that T.I.P. Inhinyeras – equipped with their academic and total student development preparation at T.I.P., and their grit and determination – like men, can actually excel in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). “Put your sterling qualities as Inhinyeras to good use and realize your Inhinyera advocacy, your vision, mission and goals, and fly,” advised Dr. Lahoz.

Before the end of her message, the president proposed three projects that could help give the Inhinyera Club a headstart towards realizing its advocacy. These were: a tracer study on successful T.I.P. Inhinyeras, a special training in Root-cause Analysis such as Fish-bone Analysis or Ishikawa Diagram, and a research on how millennials learn.

The launch was concluded with an inspirational message from the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Cynthia Llanes and an inaugural message from the Inhinyera Club President, Jessica Pabillore.

As of this writing, the Inhinyera Club now has more than 1,800 members and is looking forward to growing and helping change the engineering landscape in T.I.P. with more women engineering students and graduates.

T.I. Hopes For February 2012 Album Release Date

T.I. is looking to put out a new album by February and the rapper has been pushing out tracks since his release from prison at the end of September in order prepare his fans for the upcoming record. Tip made the announcement after he was asked by Terrence J. on BET’s ’106 & Park’ when fans could expect a new release from the rapper.

T.I. also took the opportunity to discuss his recently released novel, ‘Power & Beauty.’ The book, which is Tip’s first work of fiction, tells the love story of Paul “Power” Clay and Tanya “Beauty” Long as they both look for ways to obtain success and struggle to overcome hardship. “It’s a fictional novel. It’s about a couple teenagers thrust into a very adult situation after…tragedy strikes their home and their mother dies. How they handle that and how they used that to motivate them and push them forward…the decisions they make, the paths that life leads them after that, that’s really what the book is about,” said T.I.

Tip has been back in the studio with artists like Young Jeezy, 2 Chainz, and Big K.R.I.T. and has revealed his interest in working with B.o.B. to create a joint album after the two recorded a number of tracks that would be compiled as a record called ‘The Man and the Martian.’ Tip recently released the video for his street single ‘I’m Flexin’ featuring Big K.R.I.T. and most recently jumped on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s chart-topping ‘Watch the Throne’ single ‘Niggas in Paris.’

The Atlanta rapper has been working hard to increase his visibility since his release from prison appearing at a number of events during BET’s Hip Hop weekend as well as signings for his new novel. Even the rapper’s release, which saw him returned to prison after he was transferred to a halfway house where he was to serve out the remainder of his sentence, made headlines.

T.I. To Expand His Clothing Empire In 2011

T.I. has only been out of prison since September 29th but in that time he’s accomplished more than most of us do in a year. He’s released new music, been the guest of honor at several parties and performed with Taylor Swift at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards, which aired yesterday. However if all of that wasn’t enough now he’s focusing his attention on his clothing brand Akoo which continued to thrive while he was in prison. .

“We are definitely at a place in business where we’re proud of our accomplishments and looking forward to what we have to accomplish in the days to come,” he recently told MTV News. Akoo, which means “A King Of One’s Self” was started in 2008 by T.I. and his partner Jason Geter. “We represent artistry, we represent culture, we represent fashion, we represent being fly and just doing you to the best of your ability and getting paid for it,” T.I. elaborated.

While many artists end their name to clothing lines these days, Akoo creative director Ralph Reynolds told the site that T.I.’s is very involved in the line and dedicated to its success. “Tip is our partner, Jason is our partner, so it’s not one of those types of scenarios where if someone falls, you just switch and get a new horse,” he said. So wasn’t that tough when T.I. was, well, in prison? “We had to just keep on grinding, keep on working hard, and make sure that when he came back to us, that he had something to smile about,” Reynolds responded.

With all of this going on it seems as if T.I. hasn’t had a chance yet to sit back and revel in his freedom, but when asked about that the rapper insisted he wouldn’t have it any other way. I feel phenomenal,” he explained. “But I’ve always been the kind of guy — I never really get a chance to soak up the feeling of the moment, because even as we speak, I’m planning for the next moment. I’m looking to the future and trying to just move forward, just moving forward. I refuse to remain stagnant.”

In other words you’ve just gotta “Live Your Life.” Right, Tip?
