July 2, 2011- Velez, College of Occupational Therapy celebrated its annual acquaintance party at Robinland’s IT/ BPO Center penthouse at Zuellig Avenue, Mandaue Reclamation, Mandaue, Cebu City.

The theme “Upper East Side New York” clearly portrayed in venue presentation, stage design and music. Students of the college garbed in their best adaptation of the theme began arriving at 6 o’clock in the evening and the festivities commenced. Starting off with opening remarks and welcoming messages toned down with a solemn prayer, subsequently dinner was then served thru buffet.

Presentations followed shortly thereafter with remarkable performances by sophomores Jom- Jom Po on microphone beatbox, James Vestil and Anne Alenton with a rendition of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ Empire State of Mind and a stunning dance number by the 3rd year all- stars . A showdown between microphone beatbox and contemporary dance was one of the highlights of the night.

The party culminated with OT 2B proclaimed as the best section of the night. Music took over, as guests took to picture taking, socializing and planning of after parties for their respective groups. Indeed it was a night full of fun, laughter and meeting new friends.
