CATBALOGAN CITY─ Samar State University (SSU) President, Dr. Marilyn D. Cardoso, delivered her 5th State of the University Address (SUA) via a blended platform─ limited face-to-face, zoom web conferencing, and facebook live streaming─ on November 23 (21).
This year’s SUA is anchored on the theme: Profectus Et Triumphus (Celebrating Progress, Triumphing Excellence) and speaks of the University’s journey towards greater heights since 2016.
Dr. Cardoso recalled her four-point agenda upon oath to office and these include: Excellence in Instruction, Excellence in Research and Extension, Excellence in Production and Resource Generation, and Organizational Excellence.
“After more than five (5) years, we could say that we are tracking the right trail,” articulated the University President.
As she reports SSU’s milestones along the four core functions from November 2020 up to date through her extension arms─the four Vice Presidents: Dr. Ronald L. Orale for Research and Extension, Dr. Felisa E. Gomba for Academic Affairs, Dr. Lydia A. Gonzales for Administration and Finance and Engr. Ma. Lourdes P. Amante for Student Affairs and Services─ the lady President affirmed that it was through teamwork and the culture of excellence lived up by the SSU community even amid unprecedented challenges that contributed to what the organization has achieved today.
Ending her SUA is her expression of gratitude to SSU Board of Regents, faculty, staff, students, partners, and stakeholders and her appeal to everyone to become special co-builders as the University is ushered towards a future-proof, world-class, and one of the top 200 Universities in Asia by 2040.
