Considered the most important event in UEDC's calendar of activities, the 23rd Extension In-House Review was held online and onsite at Research and Extension Building, WVSU on September 15-18, 2020 with proper health and safety protocols in place.

The in-house formally opened with welcome messages from Dr. Ricky P. Becodo, Extension Director; Dr. Ma. Lulu L. Loyola, VP-RET and WVSU President Dr. Joselito F. Villaruz who presented his blueprint on how West Visayas State University can reach its goal of being a research university before his term ends. He emphasized, "We should think of ways on how we can translate our research output into meaningful community engagement that can help transform lives and demonstrate sustainability in our adopters. Starting today, let us make serious to undertake community extension programs as products of knowledge we have generated through research. Together we stand and commit that we will be change agents through the significant activities we conduct, albeit remotely for now."
