To recognize the hard work, commitment, and achievements of the soon-to-be-conferred Class of 2024 graduates and celebrate their transformative journey from the academic realm toward the professional/workforce setting, Sorsogon State University – College of Teacher Education and Midwifery (SorSU – CoTEdM), headed by Dr. Alfonso L.
