A PROFESSOR from the Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan was re-elected as a member of the board of trustees of the Philippine Association of Communication Educators.

Rechelle Ann Tolinero-Barraquias, chairperson of the Development Communication Department, will join 14 other members of the board composed of communication educators.

“To be able to represent Xavier University and other communication schools in Mindanao on a national stage is a tremendous honor, which is why this election means so much to me,” she said.
