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


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.


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.


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.
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.


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'''.
==History==


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.
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.

'''Academics'''
==Committees==


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 organization is divided into 7 committees, each with its own roles, responsibilities, activities and representation in the Executive Committee.


Some major activities: CEERS (College Entrance Examination Review Series), Edify, Research Fair, S@P (Software Application Protocol)


'''Academic Affairs'''


'''External Affairs and Publications'''
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.


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.


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.
'''External Affairs'''
 
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:
 
* 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 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.




'''Finance'''
'''Finance'''


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.
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.  
 
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.
 
 


'''Internal Affairs'''
The Finance Committee is composed of two subcommittees:


The Internal Affairs Committee is responsible in monitoring the performance of the resident members regarding to the organization’s activities. The primary responsibility is to keep an aye on the performance of the members as an affiliate of the organization, especially their part on the organization’s activities. The committee deals with the internal concerns of the organization, most especially its members. Aside from this, the committee also aims to strengthen the bonds between the members. The committee is subdivided into to two groups, the Application and recruitment committee and the Human Resources Committee.
'''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.  


As the name says the Application and Recruitment committee is in charge in recruiting possible addition to the growing members of the organization. The entire application process is also their responsibility. The application is done every semester which is headed by the assigned application head. Sign-up booths are being put up at the different buildings within the campus, for the interest students to sign-up their names. Orientation is being done to welcome the applicants, and to give them an overview of what the organization is and how it feels like to be a part of it. During the application process the committee assigns the interns to their respective prefer committee as to their possible contribution as a member of the organization, this will have them a taste of being a member. 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.
'''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 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. Aside from this other issues that goes on with in the tambayan is being resolved by the HR committee.


The committee is also in charge in the reaffirmation of the members which is done every year. Updating all membership records is the duty of the executive officer meaning it should be kept by the committee. Even the records of the alumni are still kept by the committee. The committee is also in charge in the recognition of the members, which is done annually.

The Organization

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.

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.

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.

History

The idea of putting up a Chemical Engineering org was conceived about a year ago. Back then, a number of ChE juniors popped the thought of forming a group that would represent them and their beliefs as chemical engineering students. Incidentally, this group would be the second ChE org in the university. The idea grew and soon many people from the same batch were into it.

Various names for soon-to-be-org were suggested, ranging from the nationalist KIK (Kapisanan ng mga Inhinyero sa Kemika), to the medieval-sounding ALCHEMIST. After numerous and tedious discussions, arguments, chikahan and what have you, most of the founding members decided on ALCHEMES. Rooting from Alchemy, this name bears a more contemporary meaning (two, actually). To some, it is Alliance of Chemical Engineering Students. However, it has been established to Academic League of chemical Engineering Students. Quite deep, isn’t it?

Since last, quite a number of meetings have been held regarding the formation of the organization. Some of these were productive, but there were some whose total number of attendees could hardly fill half of the typical Engineering classroom. After a few more months of obscurity, the group increased in number and the younger batches joined in. But due to the uncertainty of the organization’s recognition, there were some who simply just let their beliefs fade away and wandered to other pastures. But there were those who just wouldn’t give up, who always believed in what a group of brilliant young minds could do, uncertain the future may have seemed. These are the very same people who comprise today’s UP ALCHEMES. As of last count, there are about 60 members, considered the founding members.

Presently, the org is one of the many in the College of Engineering. The road to recognition was not an easy one. Of course there was an opposition to the idea of another ChE org, but after one year of unrelenting effort, here we are. UP ALCHEMES currently has no tambayan to its name, since the college only gives tambayans to orgs after at least a year of probationary status after they’ve proven their worth.

For now, we’re just happy to be recognized. A tambayan is yet another living. (As they say, patience is a virtue.) Next semester, the org will hopefully be accepting applicants. Just keep posted. For the meantime, live life.
