< >

Caraga State University on its university day celebration and commemoration of Proclamation No. 4 launched and awarded the first Governor General Francis Burton Harrison Achievement Award on February 14, 2017 at the Sanchez Gymnasium of CSU. The launching and awarding were done after the State of the University Address (SUnA) of CSU President Anthony M. Penaso.

Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Rolando N. Paluga laid down the rationale of the GGFBH Achievement Award. The GGFBH Achievement Award is awarded to CSU constituents and stakeholders who have demonstrated exemplary achievement in their field or discipline.

Governor General Francis Burton Harrison signed Proclamation No. 4 on February 14, 1920. Governor General Francis Burton Harrison lived advocating the transfer of authority to the Filipinos in the United States territory to better prepare the Filipinos for Independence.
