Our Story
Shortly after Dr. Daniel A. Ariaso, Sr. assumed office as the 6th University President of CNU in August of 2023, a new set of administrative officials were designated. Dr. Alex Y. Tiempo, a professor from the Social Sciences Department became the new dean of CAS. A month later, the CNU Organizational Structure was revised under the new administration.
The university adopted the Revised Organizational Structure of 2023 as approved by Board Resolution No. 123, Series of 2023. As a result, three new colleges which were formerly from CAS were created:
1. College of Culture, Arts, and Sports (CCAS),
2. College of Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Science (CCAIS),
3. College of Law, Public Governance, and Safety (CLPGS). Following such reorganization, CAS ceased to exist and Dr. Tiempo was designated the first Dean of CCAS.
