by Kierlo O. Tencio

        As its former leader, Dr. Stephanie Pimentel, takes new designation as Fisheries & Food Research Development Center Director, Capiz State University (CAPSU) Burias Campus tackles a new direction under the baton of Dr. Rodyard B. Madiclum, effective Sept 16, 2022 as reflected in the designation paper signed by CAPSU President Editha Alfon.

        In a speech on World Teachers' Day, when he was formally introduced to an audience of student-leaders and teachers, Dr. Madiclum emphasized that CAPSU Burias is a family.

       "We are not only your teachers in school. We are also your mentors in life choices and career, guiding decision-making and most of all, your second home - your family," Dr. Madiclum stated.

       The new leader commits to make CAPSU Burias work hand-in-hand to build it as a learning community where knowledge can be transferred outside the educational institution, and he envisions the Campus to be not just the center of ecotourism, but also a front-runner of educational tourism or Edu tourism.

         In an interview by CAPSUNIAN ECHO, Dr. Madiclum shared that it has always been his dream to make tangible differences in the lives of other people - young people, specifically, and that a learning environment like CAPSU Burias to become a center of character development and center of community endeavors.
