Central Luzon State University (CLSU) once again subjected three of its graduate programs to an online accreditation survey visit of the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) Inc. for its 2nd cycle under Level IV Phase II from October 25-27, 2023. The Master of Science in Aquaculture offered by the College of Fisheries and Master of Science in Education, and Doctor of Philosophy in Development Education offered by the College of Education will undergo evaluation in five areas including the number of published refereed journals, extension and community impact, employability of graduates, and excellent outcomes in research. Dr. Theody B. Sayco, College of Engineering Dean and OIC VP for Academic Affairs delivered the welcome remarks in which he expressed his gratitude to the accreditors and the local task force for their efforts in ensuring that the programs will effectively achieve their objective of providing quality education to students. Meanwhile, Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, VP for Administration and OIC of the Office of the University President, emphasized that CLSU's mandate is to provide students with the quality education in their chosen discipline, and the accreditation process can help in identifying the strength and weaknesses for each program. "An external examiner is one who objectively evaluates and identifies our strengths and weaknesses, and as we dwell on our strengths, we address our weaknesses" said Dr. Abella. Leading the AACCUP evaluators is Dr. Boyet L. Batang from Isabela State University, who introduced the accrediting task force and discussed the essence of accreditation and documents which needs to be scrutinized. The AACCUP evaluation aims to develop a culture of quality in the different SUCs to maintain excellent features and processes of the curricular programs being offered. Other activities during the accreditation are the presentation of documents for the areas to be visited, interview with students and faculty, and a virtual tour of the facilities.

CLSU Acquires First eBus for Nature-friendly Transportation

Central Luzon State University (CLSU), through the Business Affairs Program (UBAP), marked a milestone in campus mobility with the official acquisition of the first Electric Bus (eBus) named Project SULONG (Sustainable University Loop towards Nature-friendly and Green Transportation). The eBus, which can carry 35 passengers (20 seated, 15 standing), was purchased for P 5,488,000.00 and made possible through the University's Income-Generating Project. The vehicle will serve as additional transportation for students, faculty, and staff. The eBus will operate on a cashless payment system as all fares will be exclusively digital. Passengers will pay a fixed fare of P 15.00 regardless of the distance traveled along the loop. However, in the meantime, while the payment system is still being installed, the eBus service will be free of charge. Passengers simply need to present a valid ID to avail of the service. To ensure smooth and convenient transit across the campus, designated pick-up and drop-off points are provided starting from the Main Gate. The eBus will wait for 30 seconds at each designated stop to accommodate passengers. It is also equipped with GPS tracking, allowing students to conveniently monitor the eBus’s real-time location and track its arrival at their preferred stop. The stops include: A. Community Market B. Alumni Food Court C. Administration Building D. College of Home Science and Industry E. Library F. College of Education G. College of Science H. College of Agriculture I. Agricultural Science and Technology School J. College of Fisheries K. College of Veterinary Science and Medicine L. Grandstand M. Guest House N. Ladies Dorm 4 Note: Routes may be adjusted as needed based on passenger demand and operational requirements. The University hopes to acquire a second eBus following the successful implementation and operation of the first unit, subject to the availability of funds and necessary resources. This acquisition demonstrates CLSU’s commitment to providing sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly transportation options for all stakeholders, especially for the students. #SievingForExcellence
