NVSU-Bay Lauds Student Achievers; CAS Leads 2024 Recognition Day

To honor the efforts of students behind their display of excellence in both academic and extracurricular domains, the Nueva Vizcaya State University - Bayombong Campus recognized qualified students during the Recognition Day held on November 22, 2024, along the Old Administration Building with the theme, "Pagpupugay: A score of our past, the bridge of our future."

The awarding ceremony lauded about 800 student honorees from the eight colleges who achieved the required grades and received awards in the areas of co-curricular activities, sports, culture, athletics, journalism, and leadership for the school year 2023-2024.

The student achievers received full support not only from fellow students and awardees but also from university officials, academic deans, directors, and faculty members who were present during the occasion.

Serving as guest speaker, Police Major Atty. Jeffrey Roy R. Tolentino, a proud graduate of a public school and a proud alumnus of NVSU, resonated with the experiences of the young achievers by sharing his humble beginnings as a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science student.

"The challenges we face, the setbacks we endure, and the moments of self-doubt are all part of what makes us who we are. They shape us, teach us, and strengthen us in ways we might not even recognize at the time."

He further stressed that, for him, the value of his college experience was more than just the grades he achieved but also the resilience and determination he developed from overcoming obstacles.

As the lead college this year, the College of Arts and Sciences, through the leadership of Dean Dr. Lori Shayne A. Busa, spearheadethe preparation and implementation of the event with primary support from the Student Affairs and Services and CAS student organizations. 

By practice, the annual event for student achievers of the previous school year is conducted every first semester of the current school year to create a platform that supports and celebrates students' intellectual capabilities, discipline, creativity, and grit, which help define the institution's shared identity and success.
