UP ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY (UPZS)​

UPZS Logo

The University of the Philippines Zoological Society was founded in 1932 by 30 Zoology Majors. Its first president was Dr. Benjamin Marte. In 1986, the Department of Zoology and the Department of Botany merged and became the Institute of Biology. With this merger, the organization diversified and was opened to non-Zoology Majors and eventually to all undergraduate and graduate students in UP. UPZS is a university-wide academic, socio-civic and environmental organization which aims to uphold academic excellence and instil environmental awareness among students while rendering service to the Filipino people. With its celebration of its 60th Diamond Anniversary last August 2012, UPZS shines brighter than ever.
