Just like students getting medals for their academic achievements, educators also deserve to be rewarded for sharing their knowledge and empowering these students toward success.
CIIT College of Arts and Technology takes pride in our faculty of industry practitioners who leverage their technical experience to develop the next generation of creatives, developers, and entrepreneurs. Their quality teaching not only equips our learners to be industry-ready professionals but also plays a huge part in strengthening the institution’s competitiveness.
As such, we celebrated the Annual Faculty Awards 2024 to honor our top college and senior high school educators who made a remarkable impact on students and CIIT. The ceremony happened at the Hive Hotel and Convention Place in Quezon City last August 20.
Whether a newcomer, part-time, or seasoned lecturer, CIIT welcomed and recognized faculty members across our programs during the event. Joining them in honoring their achievements were the program heads and College Dean, Mr. Francis Ian Quesada.

The Faculty Awards stood both as a way to recognize teaching achievements and inspire educators to keep up the good work this academic year and beyond. Their efforts to excel in bringing out the best in every student will not go unmarked at CIIT. Seeing their students prosper may already feel rewarding for teachers, and we want to boost it with well-earned awards.
