The different colleges, offices, units, faculty members, students, and non-teaching staff were recognized today for their invaluable contributions to Cebu Normal University’s 2025 Impact Rankings and World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI) results.

 

The recognition came after all three CNU campuses earned global recognitions, securing spots in the Global Top 400 Innovative Universities 2025 and in the Global Top 100 categories. On the other hand, CNU debuted in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings with an overall rank of 1501+.
