UP Visayas held an exit conference for its Land Use Development and Infrastructure Plan 2021-2030 (LUDIP) Technical Working Group last April 20, 2023 at the audiovisual room of the campus’ Interactive Learning Center.
“We formally launched our LUDIP on April 28, 2021 and the process of doing this has given us the capability to plan and map the development of our campus based on scientific data.
