CEU names Concepcion as President; Padolina is President Emeritus

Concepcion, the 21st president of the University of the Philippines, brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge to steer the university into even greater heights.

Padolina, on the other hand, who was the seventh President and Chief Academic Officer of CEU since August 2006, will remain a major stakeholder at the university in her new role as President Emeritus.

Concepcion will also assume the posts of President and Chief Academic Officer of Centro Escolar Las Piñas, a sister institution of CEU.

The extensive experience of Concepcion at the helm of both public and private higher education institutions gives him a broad perspective from which to lead CEU.

Before assuming the presidency of the University of the Philippines, he was dean and professor of the UP College of Law, and Executive Director of the UP Bonifacio Global City Campus.

Prior to his academic leadership roles in UP, he was President of the De La Salle-Araneta University where he completed his BS in Agricultural Engineering, summa cum laude.
