Cebu Normal University
CEBU NORMAL UNIVERSITY
Year Approved: 2010
LAMP - CNU having been established as a teacher-training institution, the lamp, which symbolizes education of the light of learning, is the main object at the center of the seal. Its shape was copied from that of the lamp decorating the entablature of the main or administration building, which was designed by the American architect Parson and whose construction was finished in 1925
Because the College of Teacher Education is the flagship of the university, its central role is played up in t he seal. Furthermore, the College of Nursing, which has already acquired an enviable reputation nationwide as a Center of Excellence in Nursing Education, also partakes of this symbol, the lamp of Florence Nightingale being recognized as the mark of a nurse
KURYAPI - the native lute or Cebuano Kuryapi (also known among the other Philippine tribes as kudyapi, kutyapi or kotapi) is the indigenous counterpart of the lamp with its distinctive foreign shape. Because the university already has a vigorously expanding College of Arts and Sciences, we have chosen to represent this college with the native lute instead of western lyre
The lamp and the kudyapi signify the fusion of western and indigenous forms of knowledge cultivated by the university. Both symbols also represent the best western and traditional values which CNU students imbibe in the course of their studies in this institution
ALIBATA - the initials (C or S), (N) and (U), represented by the Cebuano letters, were taken from the Sugbuanon Badlit (Tagalog alibata). The university is proud of its native roots, hence the initials are written in the pre-Hispanic alphabet of our forebears
1902 - the year when Cebu Normal University was established as a provincial branch of the Philippine Normal School, together with four other pioneer normal schools in the country: Vigan, Nueva Caceres, Iloilo and Cagayan de Misamis
