Two years ago today, Capiz State University entered a new chapter as Dr. Efren L. Linan took the helm of the University, carrying with him not only the responsibility of leadership, but a clear vision of what CAPSU could become.
Since September 8, 2024, his presidency has been marked by a deliberate pursuit of progress, grounded in research, innovation, institutional development, and a strong belief in the capacity of the University and its people to move forward together.
Guided by the I.M.P.A.C.T. Agenda, his administration has steadily translated vision into action. From strengthening academic and institutional systems to advancing research and innovation, expanding infrastructure, embracing digital transformation, and widening CAPSU’s connections beyond its borders, the past two years have been a period of purposeful movement.
Yet leadership is measured not only by milestones achieved, but by the direction an institution takes.
Under Dr. Linan’s stewardship, CAPSU has continued to cultivate a culture that values evidence over assumption, innovation over complacency, and collective responsibility over individual effort. His approach reflects a leader deeply rooted in research and systems thinking, while remaining attentive to the people who give the University its life and purpose.
Two years into his presidency, CAPSU is no longer simply looking at what has been accomplished. It is looking ahead.
The recently articulated 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐒𝐔, 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐙 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔–𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟎 gives shape to that horizon, setting a clearer course for the years ahead and calling on every member of the University community to take ownership of the journey.
There is still much to build, much to improve, and much to imagine.
And as Dr. Linan continues to navigate CAPSU toward a more innovative, responsive, and globally connected future, the University community moves with him, grateful for the leadership that has brought us this far and hopeful for the possibilities that lie ahead.
Today, we honor two years of service, vision, and stewardship.
And tomorrow, we continue the journey.
Happy Second Anniversary, Dr. Efren L. Linan.
May the years ahead bring even greater opportunities for CAPSU to rise, innovate, and make a lasting difference.
One CAPSU. One direction. One continuing journey forward.

𝗜𝗖𝗬𝗠𝗜 | Dr. Linan calls for unity amid CAPSU’s challenges and gains

“These challenges do not define us; our response to them does.”

This was the message emphasized by Capiz State University (CAPSU) President Dr. Efren L. Linan as he reflected on the university’s progress and the challenges that remain during his second State of the University Address, August 18.

In the weeks leading to the opening of classes, Dr. Linan personally visited CAPSU campuses and satellite colleges to assess their conditions, speak with faculty and personnel, and identify concerns requiring the attention of the University administration.

“These visits have allowed us to see firsthand both the progress we have made and the areas where more work must still be done,” he said, noting that the conditions of some physical facilities and the increasing effects of climate-related disruptions on teaching and learning remain among the concerns observed during his visits.

As the university continues to address these challenges, Dr. Linan also emphasized that CAPSU’s accomplishments are a product of the collective efforts of its entire community.

“My dear CAPSU family, these accomplishments are not mine alone. They belong to the teachers who work tirelessly behind every student's success story. They belong to our non-teaching personnel who keep our gears running smoothly. And they belong to you, our students, whose resilience, artistry, and thirst for knowledge inspire our administration every single day,” he said.

Recognizing the shared efforts behind the university’s progress, Linan encouraged the CAPSU community to build on its momentum and face the future with determination and unity.

“We have built a powerful momentum, but our journey into the future has only just begun. Hand in hand, let us move forward with absolute resolve, unified strength, and an unshakable belief that we can achieve even greater heights,” he said.

He concluded by reaffirming his call for the university community to move forward with a shared purpose: “With unwavering faith in our people and clear purpose in our mission, let us continue to lead, to innovate, to serve, and to rise as ONE CAPSU!”
