Retubis, RCrim, Forensic Coordinator, who emphasized the importance of embracing this new chapter with passion and determination. An inspirational message was also shared by Dr. Patrick Earl D. Prado, Dean of the Criminal Justice Education Department, who encouraged the students to remain steadfast in their pursuit of knowledge and justice.
Highlighting the activity proper, Dr. Vicente S. Quimpo, Program Head of the Forensic Science Department, led the orientation proper, providing a comprehensive overview of the program. This was followed by the Office of the Student Affairs orientation conducted by Mr. John Joseph C. Quimpo, Executive Committee of OSA, who discussed important student services and welfare. To further guide the students, Maโam Rudith Mae R. Dela Cruz from the NVC Registrarโs Office oriented them on essential academic processes and requirements. In addition, the NVC Library provided an orientation on available resources and facilities, ensuring that students are fully equipped with the knowledge and support needed for their academic journey. Adding to the excitement, FSSC Governor Angel V. David introduced the organizations under CJED, further immersing students into the vibrant community they are now part of.
One of the most anticipated moments of the day was the introduction of the first-year Forensic Science students.
