VSU is now partnering with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) of Region VIII to implement the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), the capacity-building initiative of DSWD to uplift communities against poverty.

To strategically increase the volume of patent applications and publications and protect the intellectual property (IP) of VSU, the Office of the Vice President for Research, Extension, and Innovation (OVPREI), through the Innovation Office and Innovation & Technology Support Office (ITSO/IP), organized an awareness seminar on intellectual property and patent search training for its employees.

In a bold move towards further modernizing operations, Visayas State University President Prof. Dr. Prose Ivy G. Yepes challenged everyone to change their perspective about accreditations and correct the misnomer that it only benefits the administration.
