BiPSU President Dr. Victor C. Cañezo, Jr. visited the BiPSU Biliran Campus on January 28 for a Consultative Meeting to address several key issues affecting the campus.

During the meeting, various concerns were discussed, including the renovation and repair of the 3- storey Academic H-Building and library worth 70-M, set to begin construction in February, this year.

Dr. Cañezo also announced the installation of smart interactive boards and smart TVs at the campus, which aim to make teaching and learning more interactive.

The University president also emphasized the university’s response to the growing student population at Biliran Campus. "To accommodate the increasing number of students, we are prioritizing the conversion of some offices into classrooms. This will allow us to provide adequate learning spaces for our students," he said.

The meeting also covered the development of the Fishery and Agriculture programs, which require COPC submission. Dr. Cañezo also expressed his support for the program's expansion, including the potential introduction of a Master's program in Fishery. He noted that these initiatives would align with the increasing interest in agricultural studies and the growing number of students enrolling at the Biliran campus.

In addition to academic matters, discussions were held about maintenance and repair of the campus facade, as well as the housing project partnership that aims to provide affordable accommodations for faculty members. The university president recognized that ensuring the welfare of faculty is critical to creating a stable and supportive environment for teaching and learning.

"We are not only focused on expanding our infrastructure, but also on enhancing the overall experience for both students and faculty at BiPSU. We are taking steps to address the challenges we face now while also planning for future developments," Dr. Cañezo added.
