Agub, the program chair for the Bachelor of Science in Criminology, congratulates the certified criminologists for their dedication, resilience, and determination in passing the examination, which brought immense honor to the institution. He also describes them using the first three letters of the alphabet – A for having the right Attitude despite the problems they faced in taking the examination; B for Bravery, for being brave in acknowledging their fears and doubts and choosing to act courageously; and C as Criminologists.
Meanwhile, Assoc. Prof. Charibel R. Sarte, the director for Academic Affairs, said that their success not only brings prestige and glory to the institution but also serves as inspiration and a challenge to the entire ISUR community, especially the students under the program, to strive and follow or surpass the performance of this year’s passers.
On behalf of Dr. Rosalyn L. Bautista, the campus administrator, Mr. Rodel P. Sarmiento, the director for Administrative and Finance Services, warmly congratulates the passers.
