On June 5, 2025, at EVSU MRMA, the College of Business and Entrepreneurship continued its tradition by hosting the time-honored 2nd Coating and Pinning Ceremony. This symbolic event marks a significant milestone in the academic journey of students, an indication of their commitment to their chosen profession and their dedication to the values and standards upheld by Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU).
The Coating and Pinning Ceremony is more than just a formal event—it represents the transition of students from learners to future professionals, ready to embrace the responsibilities and ethical standards of their respective fields. The coat symbolizes professionalism, integrity, and readiness to serve, while the pin serves as a badge of honor, showcasing their fidelity to the university’s mission of excellence and leadership.
Beyond its symbolic significance, the occasion fosters a meaningful connection between students and their mentors. Faculty members, who have guided and nurtured these aspiring professionals, take part in the ceremony, offering words of encouragement and wisdom. This shared moment allows students to reflect on their academic journey, acknowledge their growth, and strengthen their sense of purpose as they prepare to enter the industry.
The event also serves as an opportunity for students to celebrate their achievements with their peers, families, and the university community. It reinforces the values of perseverance, commitment, and collaboration—qualities that will shape their future careers. As they don their coats and receive their pins, they carry with them the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation instilled by EVSU, ready to contribute meaningfully to the business and entrepreneurship landscape.
