In a significant administrative move following the transition of leadership in the university, Dr. Paulino Reyes II is now designated as the Vice President for Administration and Finance. His designation was officially announced by the newly installed university president, Dr. Joy Grace P. Doctor, during the flag-raising ceremony held earlier today.

Dr. Reyes brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having previously served in several key positions, including Dean of the College of Education, Dean of the College of Advanced Studies, Director for Student Development Services and Placement Services, PhD Program Chair, Earthline Chair, and Scholarship Chair. These roles have provided him with the diverse expertise and leadership skills necessary to excel in his current position.

In his message during the ceremony, Dr. Reyes expressed his deep gratitude to President Doctor for entrusting him with this opportunity to further his professional growth. Acknowledging the challenges ahead, he called for the support and collaboration of the university staff, particularly the heads of offices, as he navigates his new responsibilities. Dr. Reyes also assured the university of his commitment to mastering the functions of his office as he begins this important journey.

President Doctor, meanwhile, encouraged continued support to the new administration just as they did during the tenure of former president Dr. Eduardo T. Bagtang. She emphasized that sustained cooperation is crucial in driving the university to even greater heights of excellence. ||Mary June Wacas-UIO
