Speaker Martin Romualdez urged the fresh graduates of Romblon State University (RSU) on Wednesday to leverage their education for national development, recognizing their crucial role in shaping the Philippines’ future.
“Your education and experiences here at RSU have equipped you with the tools and knowledge to make a meaningful impact in our society. Let us work together towards creating a better and brighter future for our nation,” Romualdez said in his keynote speech at the 48th Commencement Exercises of RSU.
Serving as the commencement speaker for the Class of 2024, Romualdez also led the inauguration of RSU’s University Information System (UIS), a key component of its ICT (information and communications technology) Modernization Program.
“This project signifies a new era of a smart campus in Romblon and will revolutionize the way information is managed and shared within the university,” he stated.
The UIS aims to streamline university processes, automate tasks, and enhance data security measures to ensure efficient operations and protect sensitive information.
“By leveraging technology and innovation, we aim to cultivate future-ready students who excel in the digital world and contribute to academic excellence and creativity. These initiatives will set RSU apart as a unique institution in the region and beyond,” Romualdez added.
He expressed confidence in the graduates' ability to rise to the occasion and tackle the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
“As you embark on your next chapter, remember the values and skills instilled in you by RSU. Use them to make a difference in your communities and strive for excellence in everything you do,” he urged.
Romualdez also congratulated the graduates and praised the faculty, staff, and administrators of RSU for their dedication to education.
“You have built a strong institution and enduring legacy upon which our future rests, and I am more optimistic than ever about what is yet to come for your beloved State University,” Romualdez concluded.
