Jos Rizal University Parents and Students, It is a good time to look back at our past and to recognize those who have contributed to our growth and success. We have worked hard to improve our customer service and understand your requirements over the years. The University can only be as great as the people who work there. Our university is growing in areas such as education, research, and technology.

I'm pleased with how the faculty and staff are more committed to learning and coping with new challenges. The University is well-known for its quality education. In 2017, the College received its Level IV Reaccreditation from the PACU Commission on Accreditation PACUCOA. This recognition is rare among Philippine universities and colleges.

While the Law School is still above the national average, the Graduate School has Level III accreditation. Another rare distinction is the Level III PACUCOA accreditation of both the High School and Elementary Schools. Our programs are constantly being developed. We mean programs that are relevant.

These degrees will not only help the nation, but will also provide good opportunities for students to pursue a career. We will offer a Master in Hospital Management and Master of Science Entrepreneurship in the 2018-19 academic year. A Bachelor of Science degree in Entertainment, Multimedia, and Computing is available with a specialization in Digital Animation Technology. Our BSIT program also offers a business analytics specialization. 100 years of caring about good education.

Our team has been hard at work to ensure that your education here is better each day. Let me share with you a few plans we have that will make a huge impact. JRU Centennial Building Many of you might have seen that we started construction on our Centennial Building. The building is 9 stories high and will host a 400-seat auditorium, a larger and more modern student lounge, and technology hubs.

It also has specialized classrooms and learning areas. The centennial building will be ready by February 2019, we hope. The Building H Student Lounge We are committed to providing learning spaces for students as part of our care about quality education. The lounge will be on the third floor of Building H and can hold approximately 200 people.

Lipa City, Batangas We are expanding our family and will be opening another campus in Lipa City starting in January 2020. With the possibility of adding Engineering, this new campus will provide similar programs to Shaw Campus. We will also invest in technology at our Lipa campus in order to link it seamlessly with JRU Shaw. JRU Online We continue our efforts to make technology more accessible to students both inside and outside of the classroom.

Our goal is to bring technology closer to the students and teachers. Students can reap the benefits of technology, including faster access to information, quicker feedback and even more enjoyment. This is the potential that we want to harness and share with students. It s 100 Years OneYearToGo, and I want to thank everyone who made this possible.

On April 8, we had the historic ceremony for the Centennial Building. Keep an eye out for the JRU Lightup in December, and the huge concert in February.
