During
its more than half a century of existence, the University has achieved the singular
distinction of having produced a remarkable number of successful graduates who
have enjoyed the respect of the nation. Among them are included a President
of the Philippines, a justice of the Supreme Court, several members of the legislature
and of the Cabinet, senior members of the executive branch of government and
the Foreign Service, heads of banks and financial corporations, heads of educational
institutions, acknowledged leaders in the various fields of industry, commerce
and agriculture, and armed forces officers of general rank.
The alumni are organized into a very active JRU Alumni Association, and holds
a widely attended reunion early in February each year. The Association has been
very active in various programs of support for the University, including the
construction of a very ornate Alumni Gate at the main entrance to the campus,
the installation of a non-denominationol chapel, other infrastructure projects
such as street overpasses, to say nothing of an ever-increasing scholarship
fund.
