The Tarlac State University - College of Criminal Justice Education (TSU-CCJE) finally took place this year's Testimonial Dinner as it is the most awaited event for the Criminologist Licensure Examination (CLE) Passers of February and July-August 2024, and the TSU - CCJE Faculty at the TSU Lucinda Campus - Hostel Building, November 5, 2024.
As the dinner started, Dr. Roel Alviar, the college dean opened the ceremony with his message that inspired everyone in the room, not just the passers but also those who aspire to be a Registered Criminologist (RCrim) soon enough. "This is very historic [dahil] nagkasabay ang batch 1 and 2 ng SINAGLAHI," he added.
The event embraced the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Agnes Macaraeg, as the key messenger as she graces the whole venue of history of the College of Criminology, how it started back in 2013 with eagerness to excel and be indeed the top performing criminology school in the whole country. Dr. Agnes stated that patience is virtue and it is what it took the passer to be an RCrim. "Your success is also our success," she added as to show how Professors honed them not just as graduates and CLE passers but also a passer with integrity, morals, and honors intact.
The flow of the event followed by the testimonies of some chosen Passers to share their ups and lows, glooms and blooms, and some laugh and cries that they went through on the journey of rocky paths and roads to finally relinquish their license unto their hands.
To end the testimonies, former League of Young Criminologist - President, Jayson Adriano stated, "We are ready to take the challenge," to pledge that they will continue the legacy of the TSUโCCJE. Meanwhile, the former CCJE Student Council - Governor, John Lennard Lazarte quoted, "Muling magta-top 1 ang TSU sa CLE," as he promised that their batch will maintain the university as the top performing Criminology School not only on the grasp of Central Luzon, but also in the whole Philippines in the CLE 2025.
Afterwards, the certificates of recognition and tokens were awarded by the faculty members to acknowledge the pride and achievement brought by the CLE Passers to the university.
And finally, Dr. Lian Carla Luzong wrapped up the Testimonial Dinner of 2024 CLE Passers with gratitude to the officers who made the event possible, to the professors who mold the passers into the professional they dreamed to be, and most importantly, to the parents who are more than just supporters of the 2024 RCrim, but served as the backbones of their dreams.
"Carry with you all the instilled values," Dr. Luzong added to remind the passers to keep the important values they had learned from the beginning of their college journey.
Soar high with integrity, TSU- CCJE RCrims.
