In a celebration of academic excellence and scholarly pursuit, Partido State University  (ParSU)  Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs proudly hosted the Oath Taking and Investiture Rites for the Newly Appointed and Reclassified Professors yesterday, May 21, 2025, at the ParSU RDE Training Hall.

The ceremonial oath-taking and issuance of appointments were held for the newly appointed and reclassified professors, namely Dr. Michael Clores, Dr. Ricky Laureta, Dr. Ronnel Atole, Dr. Bernadette Gumba, and Dr. Cristina Lim. This was followed by the solemn conferment of professorial medals and the donning of the ParSU academic regalia. The ceremony served to honor all current holders of the esteemed rank of professor at ParSU, including Dr. Raul Bradecina, Dr. Raymundo Romero, Dr. Marita Magat, Dr. Jimcel Pecaso, Dr. Danilo Gerona, Dr. Patricia Candelaria, along with the five newly appointed and reclassified professors. 

In his message, ParSU President Arnel B. Zarcedo, EDEL, emphasizes that intelligence and character are the true goals of education. He lauded professors as intellectual, moral, and inspirational leaders who serve as torchbearers and are recognized for years of dedication and excellence in their craft. Further, he states, "As president of ParSU, I stand with immense pride because I see in you not just titles confirmed but values upheld, not just goals reached, but futures made brighter, you are not only professors of this university, you are beacons for the entire academic community", he added. 

Notably, out of the 270 faculty members of the university, only 11 hold this prestigious rank as of the moment, underscoring this academic distinction's significance. However, due to prior commitments of equal importance, only five professors were present during the event to personally receive their medals and participate in the regalia ceremony. 

In light of this, President Zarcedo encouraged everyone to continue aiming for excellence and learning. "To our aspiring faculty members who look up to you, may your story be a roadmap, may your perseverance be their motivation, and may your success remind them that academic excellence is not a reward for but a result of purpose and persistence", he ended.

This meaningful event honors the commitment, years of experience, contributions, and achievements of ParSU's esteemed professors as they continue to shape the future of higher education in the Bicol region. 

Congratulations, Professors!🥳
