VSU and VisayasMed Hospital Cebu have solidified a significant partnership through signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on March 3, 2025, which designates VisayasMed as the base hospital for VSU’s forthcoming College of Medicine.

VSU remains the only higher education institution in Eastern Visayas to receive consistent endorsement from the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) for its Gender and Development (GAD) Plan and Budget to promote gender equality, women’s empowerment, and inclusivity within the university.

VSU-Tolosa further expands its global network through a ceremonial exchange of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) on February 24, 2025 to enhance research, extension, and innovation initiatives and drive growth in the regional fisheries industry.

VSU has once again secured its place among the best higher education institutions in the Philippines, retaining its 12th spot in the 2025 EduRank Top 100 Universities. 

A distinguished group of  faculty and alumni from the VSU Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FVM) participated and presented papers at the  92nd Philippine Veterinary Medical Association (PVMA) Scientific Conference and Annual Convention, held at the SMX Convention Center, Davao City on February 19 to 21, 2025. 

VSU has produced 30 newly licensed Mechanical Engineers in the February 2025 Mechanical Engineering Licensure Examination (MELE) and showcased the university’s strong engineering education and training. 

My cordial greetings to everyone, most especially to the VSU key officials–the 5 Vice Presidents and Chancellors, Faculty Deans and Department Heads, Office Directors and Unit Heads, all faculty and staff, most especially to all the women in our workplace–please accept my warmest Monday morning greetings!
