“Magnifying diversity and camaraderie towards a high-spirited academic year” sets the tone for this year’s Paddafun, the welcome program designed to kickstart the Academic Year 2023-2024 for both new and returning students of Isabela State University-San Mariano Campus held on September 11, 2023.
Dr. Kristopher R. Lopez, the Campus Academic Affairs Director, extended a warm welcome to all students, urging them to approach their tertiary education with honor and pride as true ISUans. “You are blessed with the opportunity to pursue higher education. Prepare for unforgettable memories and experiences as proud ISUans,” he emphasized.
The chairpersons of the BSIT, DAT-BAT, BSHM, and BSEd programs also addressed the students, offering words of welcome and motivation. They acknowledged the challenges of college life but stressed that it is also a journey filled with transformative experiences and personal growth.
Additionally, both the new and incumbent SSC Presidents shared their student experiences and encouraged everyone, especially first-year students, to prioritize their studies while embracing the joy of learning.
