New academic year, new student leaders.

            To select the suitable student body in this academic year, two major student organizations in Capiz State University Burias Campus – Supreme Student Council and Future Leaders of the Philippines, conducted joint elections on May 26, 2022 at 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM via Google Forms, with the officers from the previous academic year, serving as facilitators.

The aspiring student-leaders were given a specific time to do their online campaign by utilizing social media applications and on May 23, a virtual grand rally was conducted to give them a chance to present themselves, as well as discuss their advocacies and objectives.

 “My goal this year is to be able to accomplish what is included in our action plan. I hope that the organization can be able to provide many learning opportunities for the students, as well as help them acquire new essential skills and values that they need,” Ms. Favie Gelyn V. Bardinas, the newly appointed FLP President commented.

The elected officials are expected to continue offering services and initiating programs and activities for the betterment and welfare of the students, institution, and of the community at large.

Ms. Bardinas added that, “It is my goal to grow as a person together with my co-officers and the students of CAPSU Burias. We must always remember that as officers, we must work collaboratively and harmoniously not just within our organization, but with other organizations as well.”

Here are the newly elected SSC and FLP officers for the academic year 2022-2023: 

 

 CAPSU BURIAS EMPLOYS TWO LEARNING MODALITIES FOR AY 2022-2023

Students of the College of Education line up for the first distribution of their modules.

On August 8, 2022, Capiz State University Burias Campus officially started the opening of classes for the Academic Year 2022-2023 with limited face-to-face classes and modular learning scheme as the primary learning modalities to be used for the first semester.

As the Commission on Higher Education already permitted the conduct of limited face-to-face classes across all higher education programs and courses, the campus adopted the instructional method for 3^rd year and 4^th year college students only, following CAPSU Memo Order 22.08.0763 Series of 2022, which narrated the reminders for LF2F classes, and in light of this, on August 8 and August 12, the two year levels respectively met their advisers for an orientation and for final announcements.

College students expressed different views when asked regarding what do they feel about attending face-to-face classes again after two years and for Ms. Cherry Mae Villaruel, a third year BSABE student, “I feel happy and excited seeing my classmates, working with them, and knowing our professors as well, yet I'm not that happy because I'm far from my family.”

LF2F are only allowed for laboratory courses, while non-laboratory courses may utilize blended learning, including modular and online, according to the memorandum.

"In my opinion, it is so complicated because the current set-up of face-to-face classes is not the same as it used to be. The time in school and the school days are limited,” Ms. Rebecca Luna, a fourth year student from the College of Management, said.

However, college students under first and second year levels purely apply the modular learning modality until now and on August 11, 2022, the first module distribution of the new academic year was done in each department, still, with strict observance of health and safety protocols.
