Cyrill John Godinez, Ph.D. faculty-researcher of the VSU Department of Animal Science (DAS) is the lone #ProudViscan who attended the international training on bioinformatics in Thailand which is a modern tool to collect and analyze whole genome sequencing data (WGS) or the complete genetic make-up of plants and animals.

The whole VSU system officially kicked off a new academic year on August 16, 2023, with an initial total of 4,599 first-year students enrolled for the first semester of 2023-2024 in all five campuses. 

It is #VSUGrad season once again and Visayas State University (VSU) is delighted to feature the inspirational stories of the two Summa Cum Laude and a top graduate student in the class of 2023.

While keeping the Top 8 spot for two assessment periods in July 2022 and January 2023, the Visayas State University (VSU) saw its latest Webometrics standing drop by two spots with the entry of two constituent campuses of the University of the Philippines (UP) in the July 2023 edition of the Web Ranking of Philippine Universities.

Pursuing life goals does not only mean walking or running toward them, but a #ProudViscan also proves that you can reach them even while riding a customized wheelchair.

Meet the 25-year-old Mark Ramirez Brazil from Barangay Cayare in San Miguel, Leyte. He is a living testament that even with a physical disability, this cannot stop anyone from achieving his or her dreams in life.

Aside from delivering the work expected from them, these groups of #ProudViscans exceeded beyond and performed best in their respective offices.

This year, the Visayas State University (VSU) is happy to commend two groups of faculty researchers and one administrative aide for being selected as regional winners for the yearly Search for Outstanding Government Workers of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in Region 8.

“Kung duna kay pangandoy, padayon lang.” [If you have a dream, just continue reaching for it.]

These were the inspirational words of #ProudViscan Rene D. Arpon, who received his hard-earned diploma at the age of 55 during the 44th Commencement Exercises of VSU Villaba held on July 24, 2023.
