Alumni Affairs

Center of knowledge in the West Visayas State University

The Office of Alumni Affairs (OAA) is tasked with developing, coordinating, implementing, and evaluating programs and projects to promote alumni relations, build the alumni network, and serve as a channel for connecting students, alumni, faculty, and outside constituencies on local, regional, and international levels. It works closely with the WVSU Alumni Association, which, in turn, is committed to reaching out and engaging all alumni in fostering friendship, nurturing lifelong commitment, and loyalty to the University in the spirit of being Taga-West.

The office is headed by a Director of Alumni Affairs, a position currently held by Dr. Jonathan Glorial of the College of Education, through a designation by the WVSU President and confirmation by the Board of Regents.
