Culture and Arts Unit is a functional arm of the Office of Student Welfare and Services responsible for developing and honing the students’ talents, skills, and values for appreciation, and promoting the culture and arts. The official culture and arts organization of the college was formally established in the 1st semester of the Academic Year 2010-2011 and named as the Performing Arts Student Ensemble (PASE). Its primary duty is to organize groups of students inclined in vocal (the PASE Voci), instrumental (the PASE Cuerdas), dance (the PASE Ballo), theater arts (the PASE Teatro) and visual arts (the PASE Visual).

In addition, as stipulated in the Gordon College Student Handbook under the Student Services Section X, “The College shall provide opportunities for the appreciation of culture and arts through the different performing arts group in the college and participation to various cultural competitions and activities.”
