THE COORDINATING BODY
HISTORY
CONCEPTION
LIONS was founded on love, freedom, and justice. The need for accreditation, financial support, and information dissemination for unaccredited organizations caught the eye of then-Association of European Studies Students president Harald Tomintz and then-Association of Interdisciplinary Studies Majors president Angelica De Asis, which urged them to draft a constitution for an organization that encompasses all independent organizations in the Ateneo.
In 2011, the League of Independent Organizations, fondly called LIONS, was born. LIONS believes that Ateneans have the right to organize; to pursue their respective advocacies and passions for a better society.
