“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV)

Together with this year’s University Fun Day overall champion, Team Pink.

Dear Centralian family,

I am particularly proud of our CPU tertiary football players, for they have demonstrated that with passion and determination, anything is achievable in every game they have played. Beyond their athletic prowess, our soccer team embodies the Central Spirit that defines our University. Together with Bob Rommel J. Javellana, RMT, their head coach, their accomplishments have brought great pride to the University, and we look forward to witnessing their continued success.

As we embark on a new academic year, we are committed to providing exceptional educational opportunities to our Centralian community. The enrollment for the upcoming first semester has officially started on June 24, 2024, offering both online and in-person registration for flexibility and efficiency. Continuing students should log in to their CPU SOS account for subject pre-enlistment.

The gradual return to the old school calendar for SY 2024–2025 would mark a significant transition for our University. I am confident that these changes are vital to our pursuit of academic excellence while ensuring everyone’s safety against extreme heat. In line with this, we are also extending our warmest congratulations to Sen. Juan Edgardo ‘Sonny’ Angara for having been appointed as the new Secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd). We look forward to working closely with him in the years ahead.

On behalf of the Centralian community, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the generosity and commitment of CPU’s Work Students alumni, which they have demonstrated through their continued support of the University’s programs. This act extends beyond financial contributions – a testament to the enduring spirit of service.

Last July 12, we celebrated University Fun Day 2024 with the theme “Teamwork, Camaraderie, and Healthy Competition among Colleagues.” Activities included the dance parade, dance presentation, and games spearheaded by the Human Resource Development Office (HRDO). It provided a well-deserved opportunity for our employees to unwind, connect with colleagues from across departments, and recharge their spirits. I thank the organizing committee for planning and spearheading the event. I also want to thank each and every faculty member and staff member. Your enthusiastic participation contributed significantly to the vibrant atmosphere and reaffirmed the sense of community that defines our University.

Together, let us strive for excellence and inspire one another to reach new heights even as we continue to value the intersection of Scientia et Fides.

Dr. Ernest Howard B. Dagohoy
CPU President
