THE NUEVA Vizcaya State University has renamed its College of Forestry to suit its expanded status.

Beginning June 1, 2021, the college will be called the College of Forestry, Environment and Resource Management.

NVSU said that the name change emphasized the evolution of the college “with diverse expertise and more inclusivity.”

The change was made upon the recommendation of the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines, Inc.

“The faculty of the College elected the new nomenclature among 10 suggested names, inspired by similar schools in the Philippines and overseas. CFERM emerged as that which best embodies the identity of the College, including the expertise of the faculty and the niche of its alumni in the professional landscape,” NVSU said on Facebook.

“Subsequent activities are currently being planned to complete the metamorphosis of the College, such as the formal launch by way of community pantry, logo, and motto contest,” it added.
