West Visayas State University’s college publications have joined forces to provide unified and dedicated coverage of the 2025 University Days celebration on Jan. 27 to 31, marking a milestone in the university’s history.

On Jan. 23, 2025, editors, student journalists, and a representative from a journalism class on Specialized Beat Reporting gathered at 2:30 p.m. in the University Library’s Reference Section to coordinate reporting assignments. Joining them were representatives from the Circle of Mathematicians, the student organization in charge of tabulating and validating competition results.

The meeting was facilitated by the Public Affairs and Marketing Communications Office (PAMCO), led by its director, Dr. Hazel Villa.

“We are excited because this is the first time in the university’s history that we have a unified documentation team from all the college publications,” Villa said.

“It is a great way for the publications to get to know each other better and, at the same time, ensure that WVSU’s stakeholders are informed of the daily activities. We aim to make WVSU more accessible through dedicated and accurate coverage of the U-Days, considering that aside from student competitions, we also have fairs, exhibits, and extension activities,” said Villa who is also the adviser of SILAK Media of the College of Education.

This year’s University Days, organized by the University Student Council, the Federated Student Council, and the Office of the Vice President for Administration and Finance, promises a dynamic lineup of events.

LINK.exe, the official documentation partner from the College of Information and Communications Technology, will spearhead the initiative, working closely with the newly formed unified documentation team.

The collaboration highlights the university’s commitment to fostering community engagement and amplifying its celebrations through comprehensive and professional reporting.
