This year’s theme, “Starry Starry Night”, brightened up the evening along with the elegance and sophistication dresses and suits wore by the JPIANs. The celebration began with a prayer led by the President-elect, Joji Yoda which was followed by an opening remarks delivered by Dr. Victor C. Manabat, Dean of the College of Business.
