Bukidnon State University (BukSU) President Dr. Joy M. Mirasol has been recognized as one of the Outstanding Mindanaoans in the State University President category during the 5th Mindanao Governance and Leadership Excellence Awards.
The awards, organized by Mindanao Daily News (MDN) Network in partnership with Veterans Bank and Ayala, honor government leaders whose leadership has significantly contributed to the welfare and development of Mindanao communities.
“From the media’s point of view, there is a need to give appreciation and recognition to government leaders who have contributed to the well-being of our communities,” said Allan Mediante, MDN editor-in-chief and awards director.
Dr. Mirasol was cited for her leadership vision of a "Smart BukSU" and for steering the university to national and international recognitions. Recently, BukSU ranked among the top four higher education institutions in the Philippines, and within the 801-1000 bracket out of 2,526 universities worldwide, in the 2025 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings.
“This recognition is a testament to the collective efforts of the BukSU community in advancing inclusive, sustainable, and future-ready education,” said Dr. Mirasol. “Through our shared vision of a Smart BukSU, we continue to make meaningful contributions to local and global development.”
BukSU Vice President for Administration and Finance, Mr. Dante S. Victoria Jr., received the award on behalf of Dr. Mirasol during the ceremony held in Cagayan de Oro City on June 25.
