	==The Organization==		==The Organization==

	~~The~~ '''University of the Philippines Academic League of Chemical Engineering Students'''~~, otherwise known as the ''~~UP ALCHEMES'', ~~was created~~ to ~~promote academic~~ and ~~leadership excellence~~ and ~~to foster camaraderie~~ and ~~goodwill among Chemical Engineering majors~~ and ~~students of diverse cultural profiles in the University~~.		Established in 1999, the '''University of the Philippines Academic League of Chemical Engineering Students''' (UP ALCHEMES) is a duly recognized organization in the University of the Philippines - Diliman College of Engineering. It is a chemical engineering department-based organization committed to produce highly competent and professional chemical engineers, provide service to the University and the country, and conduct activities with the highest possible professional, academic and socio-civic standards. UP ALCHEMES lives by five core values – genuine Service, distinctive Humility, unparalleled Academics, dignified Professionalism, and soaring Excellence, or SHAPE.

	~~True to its name~~, the ~~organization’s academic excellence~~ has ~~been very well-proven over the years as it has contributed~~ a number of ~~topnotchers in the board exams~~, ~~with three of its alumni bagging~~ the ~~top spots of the recently concluded 2007~~ Chemical Engineering ~~Board Examinations~~, as well ~~as outstanding contestants in PIChE Quiz Bowl. UP ALCHEMES has never failed to produce magna cum laude and cum laude graduates since its existence. In '''April 2010'''~~, ~~it produced '''three Summa cum laude''' graduates, the '''only''' summa cum laude graduates from '''~~the ~~Department of~~ Chemical Engineering~~'''~~.		For only fifteen years, the organization has become a home to oblation scholars, honor awardees, and board topnotchers, aside from a number of college and university scholars per semester. The organization spearheads several events annually – Reviews and Tutorials, Blockhandling Activities, the Chemical Engineering LabTour, and the College Entrance Exam Review Series (CEERS) for high school students. It organizes four nationwide events as well – ChEckBoard for graduate ChE students, the Chemical Engineering Students Summit Philippines (ChESS PH) for ChE undergraduates, Research Fair (RF) for high school students, and ChEer UP Pinoy for selected communities nationwide. These events prove the organization’s holistic prowess and goals to give back to society.

	~~In 2005~~, the organization ~~was~~ recognized by the ~~'''National Youth Commission''' as one~~ of the ~~best organizations~~ of the ~~National Capital Region after being selected as '''finalist'''~~ of ~~the '''Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations~~ (~~TAYO~~)~~''' in the region. Now on its ninth year~~, it has ~~undeniably established its name and gained integrity and respect that is comparable to, sometimes even surpasses, other organizations much older than UP ALCHEMES.~~		Towards the achievement of its goals, the organization has been highly recognized by parties within and beyond the confines of the college and university. In 2012, it has been regarded as a member organization of the Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers - Junior Chapter Luzon (PIChE - JCL), and has already been selected as the Best Chapter Organization after two years. It is one of the youngest among the college’s thirty existing organizations that is consistently in the Top 5 in the annual Engineering Organization Excellence Awards (EOEA), and awarded as the Best Engineering Organization in 2010. All these accolades recognize UP ALCHEMES as the best chemical engineering organization in the university, as an organization grounded by humility and
			professionalism for the achievement of unparalleled academics and genuine service, towards the path of undying excellence.
	In the ~~'''2010 Engineering~~ Organization ~~Excellence Awards''', it won~~ the ~~'''top Engineering Organization Excellence Award'''~~ among ~~all~~ the ~~other~~ organizations ~~who joined. Also for~~ the ~~'''third''' time~~ in ~~a row, it won~~ the ~~'''Academic~~ Excellence ~~Award''', given to the organization with the '''highest General Weighted Average~~ (~~GWA~~)~~''' in the college~~, ~~as well~~ as the ~~'''~~Best ~~Project in the Service of the Department/College''' with its '''Chemical~~ Engineering ~~Summit 2009''', a project it has successfully staged annually since its conception~~ in ~~2008~~. ~~For the past two years since it joined the competition, it has consistently won first runner-up in the competition.~~

	~~Not only has the organization excelled in studies. The~~ UP ALCHEMES is also a cornucopia of talents and interests, a home to countless singers, dancers, stage performers, trivia buff, academic achievers, team leaders, musicians, artists and writers, to name a few. It has also produced great leaders in the ~~'''Engineering Student Council''', credible editors~~ in the ~~Engineering Logscript and the Reactor~~, and ~~'''winning teams''' in~~ the ~~annual '''Marketing Congress'''. Its members are also known to be formidable contenders in various quiz shows, scrabble tournaments, singing contests, and battle~~ of ~~the bands. The ALCHEMISTS, above all these, maintain a cheerful, approachable,~~ and ~~humble personality thus making them truly unique and exceptional individuals.~~

	~~Since its birth on January 13~~, ~~1999, the league has been providing services not only to the Chemical Engineering Department and to~~ the ~~College~~ of Engineering but also to UP and to the Filipino society thru its various activities like the Inter-High School Research Fair, College Entrance Exam Review Series (CEERS), the Academic League Leader Quiz Show (ALL), Software Application Protocol (S@P), Chemistry and Math Tutorials, Outreach Program, Medical Mission, and ACLE.

	'''Academic Affairs'''		'''Academic Affairs'''

	The ~~Academics~~ Committee is ~~directly~~ responsible ~~in organizing projects~~ and activities ~~that foster academic excellence of the~~ members of the organization~~. Tutorials~~ and ~~seminars are the major means~~. ~~It is~~ also ~~responsible in~~ the acquisition and ~~safekeeping~~ of ~~academic~~ publications and other media~~, such as sample exams. Moreover, it provides the members a venue to discover the art in the science of studying and the science in the art of learning~~.		The Academic Affairs Committee is responsible for the formulation, planning, delegation, and supervision of activities and projects designed to help members and people outside the organization to improve and sustain themselves in their academics. This committee also heads the initiative for the acquisition, maintenance, and production of academics-related publications, paraphernalia, and other similar media.


	'''External Affairs'''		'''External Affairs'''

	~~Since~~ the ~~organization’s establishment nine years ago~~, the ~~committee more commonly known~~ as ~~exte has evolved just about~~ as ~~much as the organization has~~.		The External Affairs Committee is responsible for all connections and tie-ups to student councils and other parties within and outside the university, in partnership with other committees if applicable. This committee spearheads activities that promote socio-civic awareness among members and the immediate community they serve. They are also responsible for the establishment and maintenance of alumni relations as well as its partner organizations.

	Initially confined to the tasks set by the constitution, exte has been an effective publications and communications committee. One can say that the committee was made specifically for PR (Press Relations). But over the years, the committee has been the forerunner of most of the organizations projects that are geared towards community and environmental service.

	Set on fulfilling the roles of the org established by the constitution, the external affairs committee has undertaken the organization of a wide range of activities that cater to the members, the student body, the department, the college, the university, and the community outside of UP. These activities include the following:		'''Finance'''

	* Communication with the University Student Council for various University activities
	** Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE)
	** Freshman Orientation Program (FOP)
	** University Fair
	* Environmental Programs
	** Concert for a Cause
	** Emission Testing
	** Environmental awareness talks (via ACLE)
	* Event tie-ups with other organizations
	* Maintenance of the organization publication (PURGED!)
	* Outreaches and Social Service events
	** Book Drives
	** Home Building
	** Medical Mission
	** Orphanage Visits
	** Visits to Homes for the Aged
	* Alumni Relations
	** Alumni Homecomings
	** Communication with the UP ALCHEMES Alumni Association (UPAA)
	** Communication with the UP Alumni Engineers (UPAE)

	Although not entirely true, the committee has more often been stereotyped as one exclusively for those with good PR and people skills. But each exte member is encouraged to take an active part in all of the organization’s activities and is expected, by the end of his/her stay in the university, to have the confidence more often required from exte members than other members of the org.

	~~Exte strives~~ to ~~create a venue to make a difference in the community~~ and ~~in members of~~ the organization, ~~through various activities, sticking to the organization’s motto, “make a difference break free!”~~		The Finance Committee takes charge of any and all financial matters including but not limited to: collection, transaction, purchasing, marketing and sales. This committee also accounts all funds and donations entering the organization, whether raised by or donated specifically for other committees.

			The Finance Committee is composed of two subcommittees:

			'''Marketing Subcommittee.''' This subcommittee is responsible for searching for possible external funding sources by establishing corporate partnerships and by other means possible. They also create and maintain good relationship with corporate partners through marketing documentation.

	'''~~Finance~~'''		'''Ways & Means Subcommittee.''' This subcommittee initiates and oversees the organization’s fundraising and income generating projects. They also assist other committees in their own fundraisers, if applicable.

	~~The finance committee, as per~~ the organization’s ~~constitution, is responsible for the organization’s ventures in~~ fundraising, and ~~is accountable to all financial collections, transactions, purchases and safekeeping within the organization~~. ~~The committee~~ also ~~manages the budget allocations for the various organization functions, upon approval of the Executive Council.~~

	Over the years, the committee has organized many fundraising events and activities, catering to various individuals. For the Academic Year 2007-2008, the Finance committee has planned and managed a number of fundraisers, including clothing and book sales, food booths, movie screenings etc. For the next few years, the committee is looking forward to arranging more events, and the formation of the Grand Marketing Package for potential sponsors of the organization’s events.

They will be placed to the field they think they are good at, by doing this, it will help them in preparation to their professional career. The application process is something to look at every year. Most especially the intern’s talent’s night, which is the night where the applicants showcases their talents. Guiding the applicant is not only the app com’s responsibility, it is everyone’s duty to help them, to comfort them and to make our org feels like a home for them.

	The Human resources committee deals with the issues of the residing members. Figuring out ways that could probably bring out the organization’s spirit in every member is what they usually do. As a member of an organization, it is every ones duty to take part in the activities and projects of the organization. Though there are some who don’t do their part, they are still seeing as a member, yet they still need to be boost up for them to realize what they could do for the org, and this is the duty of the human resources committee.
