The newest member of the Cagayan State University Board of Regents, Hon. Maria Rosario Soriano, visited the university today, September 16, pledging her full support for CSU’s commitment to academic excellence and regional progress

Led by Officer-In-Charge University President Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez, university and campus officials welcomed Hon. Soriano, who represents Senator Joel Villanueva, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Higher, Technical, and Vocational Education.

In her message, Hon. Soriano emphasized that meaningful transformation requires more than institutional effort—it calls for the collective participation of the academe, policymakers, government, industry, and other stakeholders.

“Dream of what can be instead of what cannot,” she said, expressing her commitment to hearing the CSU community’s voices and working with them toward shared aspirations.

As a new member of the University’s highest governing body, Hon. Soriano’s presence marks another opportunity for Cagayan State University to strengthen partnerships and translate shared aspirations into concrete initiatives for the University and the region.

The CSU Board of Regents, chaired by CHED Chairperson Dr. Shirley C. Agrupis, is the University’s highest governing body.
