Over a decade of providing service to humanity, the Central Luzon State University (CLSU) successfully held its weeklong celebration of the 116th founding anniversary on April 11-14, 2023.
With the theme "Celebrating a borderless, transformative, and visionary leadership in higher education”, various activities were staged and attended by students, faculty and staff, and other stakeholders.
The festivities kicked off with the parade followed by the opening program at the CLSU Auditorium. Meanwhile, some of the student-initiated activities including the opening of the CLSU Bazaar to further boost the entrepreneurship skills of the students also started on the first day.
One of the highlights of the event is the State of the University Address (SUA) delivered by University President Edgar A.

Furthermore, on the evening of the second day, the most-awaited fireworks display brightened the skies of the CLSU Oval wherein over a thousand students, faculty, and staff gathered to watch and be mesmerized by the grand fireworks display which lasted for almost 5 minutes.
On the third day, activities such as the Professor of the Day took place for each college to inspire the students in the different career paths they wanted to pursue.
Meanwhile, on the last day of celebration, there was the inauguration of the Visionary Leadership Gate and Sapang Asta, and the Soft Launching of American Superintendent Park which were graced by the Hon. Micaela "Mikki" Violago, former representative of the 2nd District of Nueva Ecija, and Mr. John Groch, Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy and his staff.
