The Academic Community of NORSU Bayawan–Sta. Catalina Campus warmly welcomes the new academic leaders of our institution: Dr. Rona Faith Tio, Dean of the College of Teacher Education, and Dr. Jean Carrem Esparcia, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
As we pass the torch to a new generation of leadership, we do so with sincere gratitude to the deans who came before them. Their dedication, service, and commitment to academic excellence have laid a strong foundation upon which our colleges continue to grow and thrive. Their legacy will remain an enduring source of inspiration for our faculty, staff, and students.
Today, we celebrate not only a transition in leadership but also the promise of new opportunities, fresh perspectives, and continued progress. We are excited to work alongside Dr. Tio and Dr. Esparcia as they guide their respective colleges toward greater achievements in instruction, research, extension, and community engagement.
May your leadership be marked by wisdom, innovation, and a shared commitment to nurturing future educators, professionals, and changemakers.
Welcome to this new chapter of service and leadership. The NORSU Bayawan–Sta. Catalina Campus academic community looks forward to growing, succeeding, and making a lasting impact together with you.
