Central Luzon State University (CLSU) unveiled the Hannah W. Tibbs Writers' Studio, a dynamic collaborative hub designed to support both faculty members and students in their academic writing pursuits. The event took place on Thursday, April 18, 2024, at the CLSU International Affairs Office (IAO). Dr. Carleen Curley Velez, Regional English Language Officer (RELO) of the US Embassy in the Philippines delivered her inspirational message which underscored the paramount importance of fostering a conducive and encouraging environment for students to hone their writing skills. The inauguration ceremony was graced by University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, alongside esteemed guests including Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, Acting Vice President for Business Affairs Program Dr. Karenina B. Romualdo, IAO staff, and representatives from Collegian, the official student publication and the University Supreme Student Council. The studio's inception was made possible with the 2023 Academic Writing Center Support Funds Program grant from the Regional English Language Office of the United States Embassy in the Philippines, under the leadership of former University President Dr. Edgar A. Orden, now the Vice President for Research and Extension. Named in honor of Hannah W. Tibbs, the pioneering English educator who laid the foundation for academic excellence at CLSU during her tenure from 1913 to 1917, the studio commemorates the institution's rich history when it was known as the Central Luzon Agricultural School (CLAS). This innovative initiative aims to empower students, enhancing their writing abilities and academic achievements as they navigate their educational journey at CLSU. Moreover, the studio will offer a welcoming atmosphere for international students, fostering collaboration and camaraderie among them and their domestic counterparts. Dr. Emil F. Ubaldo, Project Leader, outlined that students can avail themselves of the resources and facilities offered by the Hannah W. Tibbs Writers' Studio by scheduling appointments through Google Forms, facilitated by the IAO.
