CPUR President, Riego Ferrer L. Garcia aims for a unified Centralian community.

Riego Ferrer L. Garcia, CPU Student Leadership Awardee and newly elected CPU Republic (CPUR) President, was guest at the weekly CPU TV program, Looking Forward, on April 12, 2019.

His talking points on how CPUR should move forward during his watch are Unity, Cooperation and Trust.

Garcia considers cooperation as an inclusive factor for success. Cooperation is important according to Garcia, “not only with students but with the CPU faculty, staff and the administration as well.” He was grateful for the involvement of his predecessor, whose programs were already approved and applied in the initial stage. “I need to get the trust of the Administration and the students, and I need to keep in touch with the CPUR finance officers and the Administration office for finance as well.” Garcia said.

Garcia is studying the CPUR budget as much as he is studying law. He is currently a second year student at the CPU College of Law. Garcia is interested in discussing socio-economic issues that are relevant to his administration. “I’m ready for the opening of classes and the operations of the CPUR for the First Semester, 2019-2020,” Garcia reiterated.
