The birth of the 1st decade was a remarkable event that crossed time zones from United States to the Philippines. Last July 6, 2010, The Lewis College Founder and Owner Atty. Loida Nicolas Lewis came to celebrate the school’s 10th Anniversary with the theme “Onward to Excellence” at the TLC covered court. She was with her two daughters Ms. Christina Lewis and Ms. Leslie Lewis Sword. Along with Ms. Leslie Lewis Sword were her children Christian Roy and Savilla Joy Sword. Ms. Christina Lewis traveled with her fiancé Daniel Noah Halpern. The Lewis family was accompanied by the members of the Board of Trustees, Ms. Imelda Nicolas and Pastor Francisco M. Nicolas. It was truly a joyful occasion because it has been eight years since the last visit of the daughters of Mrs. Lewis.
TeamTLC composed of GIL JAMISOLA JR., EZRA JOSEPH MENDOZA, CHRISTIAN OCLEANA (all BSIT 2 students) together with their coach MICHAEL ANGELO D. BROGADA,(Dean of the College of Computer Studies) brought home the bacon to The Lewis College when they won the GRAND PRIZE in the Ateneo Programming Challenge (APC) 2010 held at the Ateneo De Naga University, Naga City last March 1, 2010.
APC 2010 is where the best computer programmers of the whole Bicol region converge to compete. Famous universities and colleges like Bicol University, University of Nueva Caceres, AMA Legazpi, Divine Word College of Legazpi, and Partido State University participated in the event.
Out of 7 difficult problems in the competition, TeamTLC was able to solve 4 in just 90 minutes. "Problem G", which was considered to be the most difficult item, was solved in merely 41 minutes by TeamTLC. It was the only team in its category that was able to provide the brilliant solution to the tedious problem, even besting teams that had already competed in the national level. It was a remarkable performance indeed! To know more about said competition, check it out at http://ccs.adnu.edu.ph/apc/ . Congratulations and the TLC family is proud of you!
