On the tagline “Panaghiusa, Pagbuligay, Pagbangon, Pagsadya” (UNICORN: Unity, Cooperation, Recovery, Celebration), the annual festivity commenced on May 15 with a thanksgiving mass at the VSU Convention Hall with Rev. Fr. Brian Flandez as the celebrant. Part of the thanksgiving mass was the blessing of the VSU Convention Hall after the flooring was tiled.

The Visayas State University (VSU) and the Ghent University (GU) at St. Pietersnieuwstraat, Ghent, Belgium entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the establishment and promotion of research collaboration on the basis of reciprocity and mutual interest.

The Visayas State University (VSU) has been identified as one of the places included during the grand summer launching of the destinations in Leyte dubbed as “Pasyada ha Leyte 2015” (Leisure Trip in Leyte 2015). The activities were held on April 27-30, 2015 in the different tourist destinations in Leyte spearheaded by the Provincial Government of Leyte, together with the Department of Tourism Regional Office No. 8 (DOT-8).

Greetings…

“Where your heart is, is where your home is.”

I’ve said same phrase two years ago in welcoming the alumni and I think it is worth mentioning again in this occasion. Your coming back to our Alma Mater means your hearts are with Visayas State University. For that, we are all thankful. Welcome home! Welcome to your Alma Mater!
