To kick off University Days 2025, students, faculty, staff, and alumni of West Visayas State University (WVSU) gathered for a Eucharistic celebration on Jan. 27 at the University Cultural Center.

The Mass was officiated by the Rev. Fr. Jose Rex Jiloca and the Rev. Fr. Vicente Duron, as the university emphasized spirituality alongside its dedication to academic excellence, innovation, and collaboration.

This year’s theme, “DIGAMO sa West: Discovery and Innovation for Growth and Meaningful Opportunities,” reflects the university’s commitment to fostering growth and creating impactful opportunities.

“I look forward to celebrating this anniversary with my fellow alumni after four years of missing the past alumni homecoming,” said Esther B. Babalo, a member of WVSU-College of Education Batch 1985.

University Days is an annual tradition that showcases the talents and intellect of students from the colleges on the main campus and external campuses of the WVSU system through various activities and competitions.
