                          s  a  new  leadership  dawned  in  the  university
                          when  my  term  as  a  University  President
                          ended,  I  opted  to  come  back  and  serve  my
                          Alma Matter- the Potia Campus. Unbeknown to
          others, I spent my first two High School years on this campus-
          the  then  Potia  Agricultural  School.  Such  a  number  of  years
          studying and serving this institution have played a major part
          for me to become who and where I am now. When the position
          for Campus Administrator opened, I grabbed the opportunity: I
          applied  and  luckily,  I  was  appointed  to  the  position  in  July
          2019.                                                                DR. SERAFIN L. NGOHAYON
                                                                               Campus Executive Director
                 During my tenure as a President, I have always pushed  July 2019-February 2020
          for  a  quality-driven  administration  towards  holistically
          sustainable  developments  as  the  mantra  of  the  university,
          ensuring that unequivocal perspectives are drawn from single
          yet multifaceted governance. I still carried this me when I sat
          as the CA of the Campus. But to realize this further, we pro-
          posed and implemented programs and projects that aim to im-
          prove the quality of services we offer, especially that of instruc-
          tion across all the programs.

                 As a result of our unceasing thrust to quality education,
          we once again proved that we can be at par with other univer-
          sities made evident by our performance on the different licen-             Time may tick so

          Rate. This is a manifestation that IFSU is not just a university,      fast, but IFSU Potia
          it is a  university  that  transforms  students  from  who  they  are      will always stand
          into who they should be.   Another  noteworthy  accomplish-
                                                    th
                                                                           th

          Foundation  Day  Celebration.  It  was  the  first  time  that  such
          celebration was held outside the Main Campus.

                 Parallel  to  the  increasing  rate  of  IFSU  PC  population
          and the tremendous need to notch up the services are infra-
          structure  projects.  The  successes  that  the  campus  attained
          are just the start of our journey towards the academe we opt to
          be -- to become a globally recognized university. The campus
          is  on  its  flight  towards  the  breakthrough  that  we  are
          envisaging,  our  transformation  into  an  independent  tertiary
          education.  The  bill  was  approved  by  the  lower  house.
          However, there is still a lot to be done to accomplish this goal
          as we  are engulfed with challenges  and there are two roads
          before us. One leads to our fiasco and the other to our feat.
          Our  dream,  to  bring  our  campus  to  a  higher  pedestal,  is  not
          vague if we work for it. This breakthrough is not only a vision
          of  one  but  of  all  and  it  is  our  mission  to  accomplish  it.    As
          Booker T. Washington put into words, “we can be as separate
          as the fingers yet one as the hand in all the things essential to
          mutual  progress”.  Let  us  bear  in  mind  that  time  may  tick  so
          fast, but IFSU Potia will always stand on solid ground.
