Two days after the Executive Commit-tee of the North Philippine Union Mission approved her appointment, Dr. Miriam P. Narbarte, who holds a Ph.D. in Com-merce from Sto.Tomas University, Manila, assumed the post of University Human Resource Management Director on Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Before accepting the new challenge of managing the human resources of the University, Dr Narbarte was Dean of the School of Business of the University of Eastern Africa, Baraton, Kenya, from 2004-2007, the same post she held in AUP from 1991-2001.
Asked what would be her primary focus, Dr. Narbarte said, "It is to promote effectiveness and efficiency of workers in their assigned jobs." Other priorities include encouraging participation and involvement of workers in giving suggestions for the improvement of the University, empowering Officers in the supervision and management of their respective department, developing part-nership between the PR office in the implementation of HP policies, especially in the areas of information management, recruitment, selection, hiring of workers, training and development, and initiating programs that will promote good working conditions. These programs include: orientation of new workers, re-orientation of present workers, and in-service training programs.
Dr. Miriam's husband, Dr. Reuel E. Narbarte, is the current Chairperson of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Commerce programs of the AUP School of Graduate Studies. He was Chairperson of the Accounting Depart-ment of the University of Eastern Africa. They have two children, Marrianne Rosselle, 20, and Marion Rommel, 19.

[update on AUP's current Enrolment ---jgg]
On June 18, 2007 the University welcomed 4,414 students enrolled in the University for All Levels with 3,385 students coming from the college level. This number was raised to 4,656 by June 21 according to the Registrar's Office.
But there was a slight decline in the number of enrollees this year according to Mrs. Rosalinda Franche, one of the faculty personnels of the Registrar's Office. Some students were not able to return due to financial difficulties, and others due to their negligence in the application processing the last year's enrollment papers on time.
The enrollment statistics of the Adventist University of the Philippines in college level stands at 3,658, as of June 22, 2007. Though dropping from its previous 1,636 to a current level of 1,472, the College of Nursing (CON) still leads the number of enrollees. The CON SPAC extension classes have 72 students enrolled this year compared to the last year's 100, and the Caregiving course has yet zero (0) enrollees against 49 last year.
The College of Arts, Sciences, and Technology has 651 enrollees compared to 676 students last year (2006). The trend of lower enrollment is also evident in other colleges such as the College of Business, which registered 580 students from last year's 599. The College of Education has 295 students against last year's 298; while the College of Health enrolled 161 students compared to last year's 167. The College of Theology reports with 140 enrollees from 145 last year. The College of Dentistry, however has increased its enrollees to 92 compared to 81 in 2006.
