The video introduces the institutional orientation for Cavite State University (CvSU), outlining topics such as the official name, logo, acronym, history of CvSU, and its different campuses.
The official name is Cavite State University, established by Republic Act 8468, which converted the Don Severino Agricultural College into a state university. It is located in Indang, Cavite.
The university seal is square with cut angles, resembling a space capsule, symbolizing its mission. The dominant colors are green and gold, with the text 'Cavite State University' and 'Indang Cavite, Philippines' along with '1906' (the year of its humble beginnings) written in gold against a dark green background.
The seal includes several symbolic elements: a torch and book representing knowledge and wisdom; a coffee twig with ripe berries signifying Cavite's agricultural heritage; an atomic structure symbolizing science programs and research; a gear representing engineering and technology; the year 1906 indicating its origins as an intermediate school; and the flame of the torch subtly forming the letters C, V, S, and U, which form the university's official acronym.
The official acronym is CvSU, not CSU, CADSU, or KABSU. The history of CvSU began in 1906 and culminated in its conversion to a university in 1998.
CvSU started as Indang Intermediate School in 1906, undergoing several name changes: Indang Farm School (1918), Indang Rural High School (1927), Don Severino National Agricultural School (1958), and Don Severino Agricultural College (DSAC) in 1964. On January 22, 1998, DSAC became Cavite State University through Republic Act 8468. The main campus, the Don Severino de las Alas Campus, is located in Indang, spanning 76.6 hectares, and serves as the administrative seat, offering 108 undergraduate, 28 graduate, and 13 non-degree programs across 10 colleges.
Over the years, CvSU established satellite campuses through agreements with local government units. Two campuses, Cavite College of Fisheries and Cavite College of Arts and Trade, were integrated in 2000. Currently, CvSU has 11 satellite campuses across Cavite, including Bacoor City, Carmona, Cavite City, Tanza, General Trias City, Imus City, Silang, and the latest addition, Maragondon.
The video recaps the different campuses, including Indang (main campus), Tanza, Rosario, Carmona, General Trias, Cavite City, Imus City, Silang, and Maragondon. A drone shot of the campuses is provided for familiarization.
Abigail Gomez concludes the first episode of the institutional orientation, reiterating the key points discussed: the official name (Cavite State University), the logo (space capsule design), the acronym (CvSU), the university's history dating back to 1906, and the various campuses.
