Dear Centralian family,

Classes for the first semester of the school year 2024-2025 had already commenced and I am delighted to welcome the transferees, as well as the new and returning students to the campus.  As we embark on this new school year together, let us do so with a sense of purpose and a spirit of optimism. We will navigate the challenges, celebrate the triumphs that lie ahead, and instill in our students the value of Exemplary Christian Education for Life (EXCEL).

I also welcome all the foreign students who are joining the Centralian community. At CPU, we believe that education is a global endeavor, enriched by the vibrant tapestry of backgrounds and viewpoints that each individual contributes. We recognize that arriving in a new country and adapting to a different educational system can present challenges, but at CPU, we are cultivating a community where cultural exchange and mutual understanding thrive.

As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to fostering international collaboration and enhancing educational opportunities, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Australian Institute of Higher Education at the Henry Luce III Knowledge and Development Center on August 13, 2024. This partnership will enrich our academic programs, expand research initiatives, and create new pathways for innovation and global engagement.

One of the cornerstones of CPU is the development of our faculty and staff, who are the driving force behind our institution’s success and impact. Their growth, both personally and professionally, is important to building a remarkable environment for learning. The strength of our institution lies in their dedication and passion.  By investing in their professional development, we are not only enhancing their capabilities but also ensuring that our institution remains at the forefront of delivering quality higher education.

Last August 28, we successfully conducted the Faculty and Staff Conference.  Held at the Rose Memorial Auditorium, the event became an avenue for exchanging ideas to foster dialogue, inspire innovation, and strengthen our bonds as a community. It also served as a platform to celebrate the achievements of our colleagues during the Pagdayaw 2024 Quality Awards. Spearheaded by the Quality Assurance and Accreditation Center, we recognized 29 awardees for their outstanding performance, exemplifying excellence in their operations. There were four awards given namely:
