A new era dawned at the University of Antique on September 7, 2026, as Dr. Godelyn G. Hisole was officially installed as its 3rd University President in a formal investiture ceremony at Paghi-UsA Hall.
Presided over by CHED Commissioner Desiderio R. Apag III, the milestone event gathered public officials, academic leaders, and community members to witness the changing of the guard. In her inaugural address, Dr. Hisole unveiled a vision-driven roadmap centered on three transformative pillars:
Institutional Academic Excellence: Elevating education through modernized, character-driven curricula, expanded research grants, and extension programs tailored to solve real-world community challenges. Operational Excellence and Branding: Driving digital transformation to build a "Smart Campus," streamlining administrative processes while anchoring the universityโs identity in its core values of integrity and excellence. Resource Mobilization: Strengthening long-term sustainability by expanding public-private partnerships, external grants, and income-generating ventures- all managed with strict fiscal transparency to directly support student success.
With Dr. Hisole at the helm, the UA System takes a bold step forward, positioning itself for modernized governance, academic distinction, and lasting regional impact.
