With insignia gleaming under the open sky and ranks pinned firmly upon their shoulders, the student-interns of Carlos Hilado Memorial State University (CHMSU) College of Criminal Justice (CCJ) โ Class 19 "MAKISIG" โ officially marked a monumental milestone during their Pinning and Donning of Ranks Ceremony held at the CHMSU Field last Friday, September 4, 2026.
More than a rite of passage, the solemn event underscored the weight of responsibility that comes with wearing the uniform. As mentors, registered criminologists, and juniors gathered to witness the event, each criminology intern pledged their commitment to honor, justice, and selfless service.
Delivering a powerful inspirational address, Executive Director Joevelle B. Vergara, EdD, reminded the future criminologists that true leadership is forged from within. Emphasizing that while a uniform reflects authority, it is moral courage and personal integrity that define a true public servant.
