After scoring a 100% overall passing rate in the 2016 Bar Examinations, Ateneo de Zamboanga University College of Law (AdZU-COL) once again makes history with another 100% passing rate in the November 2017 Bar Exam; this time, with one of its graduates snagging a spot in the Top 15.
Adding to the roster of Attorneys-at-law are Rhea Doll Gonzalo (Top 15) and Ann Loraine Tam, both products of the collaboration between AdZU and Xavier University (XU).
Striving for excellence, AdZU sought and was granted authority to operate College of Law back in 2011 in consortium with XU. Up until 2016, COL produced graduates of XU which includes both Gonzalo and Tam. However, both bleed blue. Gonzalo is a product of the 15th batch of the annual Ateneo Senior Summer Program (ASSP), and Tam received her undergraduate degree from AdZU’s School of Management and Accountancy (SMA).
These results, along with many other accomplishments, are evidences to the quality of education provided by the university. AdZU-COL now claims its independence. 2018 is the last year that AdZU will produce graduates under XU. During its recent Commencement Exercises, four of the seven graduates are officially under the AdZU-COL banner.
