Aside from being called a “Very Scenic University,” VSU enhanced its landscapes not only to beautify the campus but also to practice sustainability by growing drought-tolerant ornamental plants.

Dr. Dennis P. Peque, a professor and former dean of the VSU College of Forestry and Environmental Science (CFES), is hailed as an Outstanding Professional Forester for Region VIII by the Society of Filipino Foresters, Inc. (SFFI).

Engr. John Christian L. Gaviola, a faculty member of the VSU Department of Civil Engineering, is accorded the Best Presenter Award during the 4th International Conference on Disaster Management (ICDM) 2024 at Universitas Andalas in Indonesia.

To conserve different species from extinction, VSU sent two Visayan flora and biodiversity experts to participate in the second national workshop on updating the Philippine key biodiversity areas (KBAs) or identified marine and terrestrial sites where organisms inhabit.

From championing sustainable farming in the Philippines, #ProudViscan Norhaya Vasquez Demacaling is now globally recognized as one of the Top Agri-Food Pioneers (TAP) by the World Food Prize Foundation.
