DUMAGUETE CITY, Aug 23 (PIA) -- Top officials from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) are expected to witness the investiture of the new president of Negros Oriental State University (NORSU) on August 30.

Dr. Don Vicente Carballo Real will be formally installed on that day as the new president of the university, 9 a.m. at the NORSU Cultural Complex, Main Campus.

Aside from CHED officials, among the guests who will witness the investiture of Real are presidents of state universities and colleges in the country along with local government officials in the city and province, according to NORSU Information Officer Joy Perez.
