The UPV Graduate School Student Council, in collaboration with the UPV Graduate School Office, successfully held GradStart 2026: UPV Graduate Orientation Program on September 19, 2026, at the UPV Auditorium in Iloilo City.

Attended by about 450 graduate students from various programs, the event provided an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of graduate school policies, student services, and academic resources.

The event was graced by UP Visayas Chancellor Dr. Clement C. Camposano, Vice Chancellor for Administration Dr. Farisal U. Bagsit, Vice Chancellor for Planning and Development Dr. Reynold D. Tan, Graduate School Dean Dr. Rodelio F. Subade, Graduate School Secretary Dr. Nathaniel Añasco, graduate program coordinators, graduate faculty members, and graduate staff.

The orientation featured presentations from resource persons from the Student Services Units, particularly Dr. Chona Parreño of the UPV Health Services Unit (HSU), Dr. Sheila A. Javier of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), Ms. Sophia B. Diasanta of the UPV Library, and Asst. Prof. Thania Margarette Coronica of the UPV Anti-Sexual Harassment Office (ASHO), who introduced the various support services and resources available to graduate students.

The program also recognized the Academic Achievers of the UPV Graduate School, celebrating their exceptional academic accomplishments and commitment to research.

The program was further enriched by a special violin performance by Mr. Jonathan Chris Bañas, whose artistry and musical talent added warmth and inspiration to the celebration.

The GSSC extends its sincere gratitude to the Graduate School Office, distinguished guests, resource speakers, graduate faculty members, graduate students, and all participants whose presence and support made the event a success.

May this new academic journey be guided by purpose and growth. 🌻✨
