State University was declared as finalist during the first ever Gawad
Edukampyon Awards for Higher Education Institution (HEI) last October 25 via
Facebook live.
CapSU was nominated in the Gawad
Edukampyon for Responsive Research and Development category for its PAG-ULIKID
(Province-wide Assessment, Generation, and Utilization of Livelihood and
Immunization Knowledge Initiative and Development) program.
“Pag-ulikid
program has drawn hope to our more vulnerable people and brought back their
future by building a more resilient and stable life right in their own
backyard” said Dr. Efren L. Linan, CapSU Vice-President for Research and
Development Extension.
Gawad Edukampyon was launched by Rex
Education and Commission on Higher Education (CHED) last January 2021 to
recognise outstanding initiatives and resilience of Philippine HEI’s in the
midst of COVID-19 pandemic and to highlight the inspiring works of 55 HEI’s
both public and private through their innovative, resilient, and adaptive
causes.
“Champions are also defined by the
causes they choose to fight for” said Mr. Reynaldo Antonio Laguda, President of
Philippine Business for Social Progress during his opening remarks.
23 entries from 20 HEI’s were
declared as finalists by 12 evaluators and 11 judges.
