We are CPU: Our reasons for being

Abstract

<em>We are CPU: Our Reasons for Being</em> is the Centralians' collective declaration of commitment, pride, and great love for dear Central. The book publishes CPU's official philosophy, history, VMGO, quality policy, core values, and other "reasons for being" that the University upholds and considers invaluable and irreplaceable in its successful overall operation as an autonomous institution of teaching and learning.

More interestingly, the book relates and presents significant past and present facts and literature about CPU. It answers some of these fascinating questions:

- What is the CPU's philosophy and purpose? - Why is our University named CPU? - What is EXCEL and what are its indicators? - What is the essence of the vision and mission statements of CPU? - What are the core values of the University? - What are the attributes of Centralians and how do they impact society? - And, other similar questions.

Basic education teachers, college and graduate school faculty, students, staff or non-teaching personnel, administrators, accreditors, assessors, auditors, parents, alumni, and other stakeholders of the University will find this book valuable in understanding the philosophical and historical foundations, the Central Spirit, and all other "reasons for being" that bind and connect all Centralians, from "far and near", as they sustainably uphold Exemplary Christian Education for Life—the CPU-EXCEL banner.
