Dr. Editha Gundaya Cagasan is one of my most dependable generals here on campus. No matter how difficult and challenging the situation is, I did not see her wasting her time complaining about a problem but would rather focus more on delivering results.

#ProudViscans Arven Jacob Salera and Dixie Grace Gelaga who are fresh graduates from the veterinary medicine program recalled their memorable experiences as exchange students in Croatia, Europe.

In a relentless pursuit of fostering the cassava industry's growth in the Visayas, a dynamic alliance between the Fatima Multi-Purpose Cooperative (FMPC), VSU PhilRootcrops, and Agriterra recently ventured to Bangkok, Thailand.

In another devastating blow to the VSU community, we are all saddened by the passing of Dr. Emiliana N. Bernardo, one of our important institution builders who built this university from the ground up.

It is a common notion that when someone tops the boards, people get curious and ask about the secrets in the hopes of replicating them. But, as for this #ProudViscan topnotcher, there is no top formula that made him land the third spot in the September 2023 Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers Licensure Examination.

To our dearest Vice Presidents of the VSU system, the Directors of our ever-growing research units, our dynamic department heads, other members of the University Administrative and Academic Council, the Chancellors of our component campuses in Alangalang, Isabel, Tolosa, and Villaba, and the Deans of the Graduate School and Students, to our alumni who are here and watching us via our livestream, our administrative support staff, beloved students, guests, ladies and gentlemen, a pleasant afternoon to all of you.

To sustain agriculture despite the changing climate, Visayas State University (VSU) and the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Studies and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) jointly spearheaded the annual gathering of faculty researchers who are members of the University Consortium (UC) to share meaningful dialogue through academic and research expertise.
