Cagayan State University (CSU) garnered multiple distinctions at the 2025 World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI) Global Conference, held on September 24–26, 2025, at Busan International College, Tongmyong University, South Korea.

Earlier this year, CSU was ranked 221st out of 1,253 universities across 87 countries, as announced during the 5th Annual Hanseatic League of Universities (HLU) Conference on July 10, 2025. The university topped the Student Support and Engagement (A1) category, ranked 3rd in Entrepreneurial Spirit (A4), and placed 12th in Industrial Application (A3).

CSU’s “Project MIND” received the highest honor after securing 1st place under the Student Support and Engagement (A1) category. The award was conferred following the presentation of Dr. Mariden V. Cauilan, Vice President for Academic Affairs. Implemented by the past and present guidance directors and counselors, Project MIND promotes student welfare, academic success, inclusivity, and active participation.

Another highlight was “CocoPreneur,” the flagship program of CSU Sanchez Mira Campus, which ranked 3rd under the Entrepreneurial Spirit (A4) category. Presented by Campus Executive Officer Dr. Rodel T. Alegado, the initiative has been lauded for its role in empowering coconut farming communities by fostering resilience, innovation, and sustainable livelihoods.

CSU also earned recognition in the Industrial Application (A3) category, securing 12th place for its strong efforts in industry-focused education and research that deliver practical and impactful solutions to real-world challenges.

Joining VPAA Dr. Mariden V. Cauilan and CEO Dr. Rodel T. Alegado at the international conference was University Quality Assurance Director Dr. Marie Claudette M. Calanoga, who served as moderator in one of the sessions.

Meanwhile, the CSU delegation also held discussions with Tongmyong University officials, paving the way for a forthcoming Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen academic and research collaborations.
