Southern Leyte State University takes a bold stride into the international spotlight!

In the 2025 edition of the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, Southern Leyte State University (SLSU) expanded its participation from five to ten Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), earning a place among more than 2,526 institutions worldwide. 

This year, SLSU recorded its strongest performances in Gender Equality (SDG 5), Climate Action (SDG 13), and Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8). These results reflect the university’s growing commitment to inclusive education, environmental stewardship, and the preparation of graduates who are equipped to contribute to sustainable economic growth.

What makes this recognition truly significant is the deeper mission it reflects: advancing sustainable goals and proving that even institutions from the margins can help shape global conversations. It also represents the collective effort behind it. Across campuses and offices, faculty and staff worked diligently to capture the full scope of SLSU’s contributions to sustainable development. Students played a vital role through their active involvement in community programs, innovation initiatives, and grassroots environmental efforts. Behind every data point submitted is a story of purpose, progress, and a shared commitment to making a lasting impact.

This recognition is not the finish line; it is a clear beginning. SLSU has shown that it has both the strength and the conviction to be part of global conversations in higher education. Southern Leyte State University is moving forward with purpose, driven by its people, and ready to make a lasting impact.
