Centro Escolar University will once again celebrate one of its most meaningful traditions, the Sampaguita Interlude across all its campuses.
At the CEU Manila campus, the Sampaguita Interlude will be held at the North Quadrangle. The day will begin with the School of Medical Technology, School of Accountancy and Management, and School of Education, Liberal Arts, Music and Social Work at 9:00 a.m., followed by the School of Nursing and School of Nutrition and Hospitality Management at 11:00 a.m. In the afternoon, the School of Dentistry and School of Optometry will take their turn at 3:00 p.m., and the day will conclude with the School of Pharmacy and the School of Science and Technology at 5:00 p.m.
The celebration continues on July 11, 2025 for Makati campus for both Science and Non-Science programs which will be held at 9:00 a.m. at CEU Manila, North Quadrangle. Meanwhile, CEU Malolos will conduct its ceremony on the same day at 11:00 a.m. in its Centrodome.
A beloved rite of passage for junior and senior students, the interlude is held few days before the graduation. This symbolic event highlights the passing of responsibility from graduating students to their junior partners through the offering of sampaguita garlands, the national flower of the Philippines. Throughout the interlude, Escolarians come together in floral formations while singing songs.
The Sampaguita Interlude is spearheaded by the Physical Education Department led by Dr. Jonathan P. Catapang.
