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. Orden which contained the accomplishments and initiatives of the university towards becoming a World Class National Research University for Science and Technology in Agriculture and allied fields. 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. The CLSU Administration also recognized the employees who have rendered years of dedicated service to the university and honored the outstanding employees for their excellent service during the PRAISE Awards and Recognition Night. Indeed, the success of the different major and pocket events brought out again the Pusong CLSUan to every student, faculty, and staff.

Abella emphasized that art serves as more than just aesthetic expression; it is a vital instrument for social consciousness. “Sa pamamagitan ng ating Sining, mas mauunawaan natin ang ating sarili at ang kalagayan ng lipunang ating ginagalawan. Nagiging tulay din ito para ipahayag natin ang ating saloobin, kung tayong ay masaya, pati ang ating pagkadismaya, dahil ang sining ay hindi nag kukubli sa kasinungalingan, kundi nagpapakita ng tunay na kaganapan at estado ng ating damdamin at nang ating pamayanan,” he poetically said. The opening program was graced by Ms. Jana Mara Stefan San Pedro, Provincial Tourism Officer of Nueva Ecija, as the guest speaker. Ms. San Pedro commended CLSU for its commitment to truth and courage, noting that the term “Ani” represents a harvest of memories, experiences, and provincial affirmation. At the same time, “Sining” serves as a vessel for truth and excellence. The celebration was officially inaugurated through a ceremonial striking of the gong, signaling the start of a month-long series of cultural activities. The event featured a showcase of local talent, including performances by the university's premier culture and arts groups, such as Maestro Singers, Bithay Sining Dance Troupe, and Tanghalang Gagalaw sa CLSU. Concluding the program, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco reiterated the importance of the arts in nation-building.
