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.

CASS Faculty and PMS Director Receives Full Grant from SEARCA for Leadership Development Program

Assoc. Prof. Maria Adrielle S. Estigoy, College of Arts and Social Sciences faculty and Presidential Management Services director, was one of the ten selected grantees of a full grant from the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) and the The Head Foundation (THF) for the 2024 Leadership Development Program for Higher Education Institutions (LDP-HEIs). The program was participated by 28 individuals from 11 Southeast Asian countries composed of HEI presidents, vice presidents, deans, directors, and heads, among others. It runs from March to July 2024 in a blended learning mode. As an output, Assoc. Prof. Estigoy and respective participants crafted their re-entry action plan (REAP) where they can implement in their own institutions. In particular, her REAP presentation was anchored on the concept of possible institutionalization of a policy on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in teaching and learning. To ensure that the REAP of participants were on track, their presentation were critiqued by a panel of faculty lecturers from THF which took place last May 6-10, 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. As part of the LDP-HEI program, participants had the invaluable opportunity to visit Betagro, a company renowned for its innovative practices, as well as prestigious state-owned universities such as Chulalongkorn University and Kasetsart University (KU). These visits were designed to provide real-life best practices and innovations presented by Betagro CEO and KU president, enriching the participants' understanding and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Now in its sixth series, the LDP-HEI by SEARCA and THF aims to empower leaders of HEIs in Southeast Asia by equipping them with the essential skills and knowledge required to lead their universities effectively, ensuring they thrive and remain resilient in the dynamic landscape of the region.
