The Alumni Batch 2003 of Central Luzon State University - University Science High School (CLSU-USHS) officially turned over to the university a newly renovated and fully equipped laboratory on August 29, 2024. This project, titled “Labor of Lab: Science Laboratory for USHS,” was made possible through their donation drive which aims to benefit both junior and senior high school students, enhancing their learning experience in science education. The project, which started in early 2024, successfully raised over one million pesos through contributions from sponsors and alumni. The renovated laboratory is now equipped with two units of the Versatile Instrumentation System for Science Education and Research (VISSER) Comprehensive Kits, allowing students to perform 67 hands-on experiments across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. Furthermore, it includes provisions for tables, cabinets, and stools. Mr. Joy Arvin Sadaran, President of the USHS Batch 2003 shared the inspiring story behind the inception of the donation drive, detailing how the initiative came to life. He also presented the financial breakdown of donations collected from the earliest USHS Alumni batches to the most recent graduates, while highlighting the plans for the laboratory. Meanwhile, University President Evaristo A. Abella expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors and organizers for their generous contribution to their alma mater. He also assured them of the University’s commitment to maintaining and safekeeping the laboratory. “Napakaraming makikinabang sa proyektong ito, at salamat dahil kahit dalawang dekada na mula ng kayo ay nakagraduate ay hindi ninyo nalilimot na tulungan ang ating mga mag-aaral…And to the current students of USHS, sulitin ninyo ang regalong ito, mahalin at alagaan, pagmalasakitan upang mapanatili ang kagandahan at magamit pa sa mga susunod na henerasyon,” President Abella said. In response, Mr. Lanz Rafael C. Barata and Ms. Alena Austria, student representatives, expressed their appreciation and affirmed their dedication to optimizing the utilization of the laboratory. Key officials who graced the event were Vice president for Academic Affairs, Dr. Ravelina Velasco, Vice President for Research and Extension, Dr. Edgar Orden, Vice President for Administration, Dr. Ariel Mactal, Director of Financial Management Services, Ms. Jinky Parugrug, Head of CLSU Laboratory for Teaching & Learning (CLTL) - USHS, Dr. Verjun Dilla and Sub-Unit Head of CLTL-USHS, Dr. Aileen De Guzman.
