In a defining moment for institutional growth, the oath-taking ceremony for newly hired faculty and recently promoted administrative personnel was held this morning, September 1, 2025, at the Office of the President. Spearheaded by the Human Resource Management Office, the program marked a milestone in the college’s ongoing pursuit of excellence, welcoming eight dynamic instructors and four dedicated staff members into new roles of service and responsibility. College President Dr. Lynette A. Bontia, who administered the oath, emphasized that every appointment is both a recognition of merit and a call to greater commitment.
The new faculty lineup reflects a wide spectrum of disciplines vital to the college’s academic portfolio—ranging from Fisheries, Tourism Management, and Agribusiness to English, Environmental Science, and Physical Education. These educators, drawn from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, are set to enrich instruction across main and extension campuses. Equally significant were the promotions within the administrative ranks, including roles in accounting, budgeting, cashiering, and executive assistance—posts that fortify the operational backbone of the institution. Their advancement not only rewards individual diligence but also ensures continuity in quality service delivery to students and stakeholders.
Beyond the formalities, the event captured the spirit of renewal and collective aspiration. The institution underscored its vision of nurturing both competence and character in its workforce, aligning personnel development with the broader mission of shaping transformative education. In her message, Dr. Bontia reaffirmed that the heart of institutional success lies in the synergy of its people—teachers who inspire, and administrators who enable. As the ceremony concluded, it left a resonant message: growth is not merely about filling positions, but about igniting a shared journey of leadership, service, and purpose.
