Alumni Alert! Richmond Li

The days from October 19 – 21 are part of the final examinations which was made lighter by the visit of one of our dear alumni: Mr. Richmond Li. Graduated in 1999, he now works as a director in one of the skilled nursing facilities in New York. He took time between exams to talk to a group of students from different year levels about his experiences and views of a Filipino PT’s life abroad.

Known in some circles as, “yung isang Richmond,” Mr. Li is one of the avid donors to the College of Physical Therapy.

Regarding Email about Ma'am Penny

circulating. Please do not give any information to the sender who is not in any
way connected with Ma'am Penny or to the UERM College of PT. Ma'am Penny is well
