The faculty expressed their gratitude to the EPDO personnel for their dedicated efforts in facilitating cleaning and restoration works. Their support has made classroom preparations more convenient and efficient, allowing faculty to focus on instructional readiness.

Classroom readiness remains ongoing, with final touches being completed to guarantee that all rooms meet the standards of safety, cleanliness, and functionality before the official opening of classes.

The morning session continued with discussions on grading policies, syllabus standardization, and instructional planning, where faculty members agreed on measures to promote consistency in assessment, quality instruction, and constructive alignment of teaching and learning outcomes for Academic Year 2026–2027.

A key highlight of the afternoon was the Academic Policies and Faculty Standards Orientation delivered by Ms. Arrah Mae B. Tambis, HRMO III. She discussed the rights, responsibilities, and ethical obligations of faculty members as public servants, emphasizing professionalism, accountability, and adherence to University policies and Republic Act No. 6713 (Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees). She also provided important updates on the newly approved Implementing Rules and Regulations governing faculty appointments, equipping faculty members with a clearer understanding of institutional expectations and professional standards.

His presentation highlighted initiatives that promote student leadership, engagement, mental health, values formation, and a safe, inclusive learning environment. The proposed activities reflect the Council's commitment to supporting the holistic development and well-being of every STHM student.

The program concluded with an inspiring message from University President Dr. Victor C. Cañezo Jr., who reminded faculty members that students remain at the center of the University's mission. He emphasized that education extends beyond imparting knowledge—it is about transforming lives and creating opportunities for future generations. Citing that approximately 82% of the University's graduates in the previous academic year were the first college graduates in their respective families, he underscored the profound impact that dedicated educators have on individuals, families, and communities.

"𝙏𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙥𝙚𝙗𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙨."

With these words, Dr. Cañezo encouraged every faculty member to recognize the potential of each learner and to nurture that potential through quality instruction, compassionate mentorship, and values-driven education.
