Taga-West from various colleges and campuses stirred excitement for the 2025 University Days as they marched onto campus grounds with passion and enthusiasm for the Opening Parade on January 27.

The parade celebrated the unique identities of each college and campus, symbolized by the “dapog,” a Hiligaynon term for “fireplace,” representing each kitchen as a source of warmth and unity. This was expressed through creative displays, chants, and cheers, showcasing the spirit of the WVSU community.

Adding to the vibrancy of the celebration, alumni from various batches joined the festivities, proudly representing their alma mater and reconnecting with fellow members of the WVSU community.

This year’s theme, DIGAMO sa West: Discovery and Innovation for Meaningful Growth and Opportunities, reflects the core values of West Visayas State University (WVSU). The university fosters holistic development, guiding students through a transformative journey. Just as preparing a meal requires careful attention and creativity, WVSU nurtures its students through academic rigor, extracurricular engagement, and professional growth.

The 2025 University Days will showcase diverse talents and provide opportunities to celebrate the achievements and diversity of the WVSU community.
