Dr. Danilo C. Bernal, the 12th President of USTNAI was one of the honorees during The 7th Distinguished Thomasian Alumni Night (DTAN) held last November 26, 2022 at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) BGPOP Alumni Center Building. The DTAN, organized by the UST Alumni Association, Inc. (USTAAI) in partnership with the UST Office of Alumni Relations (OAR) honors an alumnus/alumna for exemplary leadership and service to the university, the community and in his or her field of endeavor. DTAN honorees continues to illuminate and bring pride and honor to UST with their commitment to selfless service. 

Dr. Bernal received a replica of the ‘Arch of the Centuries’ along with nursing co-honorees including Dean Rowena Chua, May Parsons, Amelita Sison-Navarro and Irma Bustamante-Gavino. This triumphant Thomasian symbol serves as a memorial to the distinguished men and women, heroes, martyrs and saints, who had passed through the University's portal and out into the world to live a life of faith, hope, and charity.
