History
The university's origins stem from the Baybay Provincial High School, the first public high school in Baybay District, Siniloan. In 1957, it was upgraded into an agricultural school, the Baybay National Agricultural and Vocational School. Realizing for a need of a college to rise in the eastern portion of Laguna, it was elevated to a college, the Baybay National College of Agriculture and Technology, in 1971. It became the Laguna State Polytechnic College (LSPC) in 1983, the first state college in the province of Laguna.
The first president of LSPU, Dr. Ricardo A. Wagan, opened satellite campuses in Nagcarlan, Santa Maria, Cabuyao and the San Luis Sports Complex (Santa Cruz, Laguna). By operation of the Higher Education Modernization Act of 1998, other CHED-supervised institutions (CSIs) were integrated with the system during the year 1999 to 2000. These were the Laguna College of Arts and Trades (LCAT) in Santa Cruz, the Los Baños College of Fisheries (LBCF), and the San Pablo City National School of Arts and Trades (SPCNSAT).
On February 8, 2007, the college was converted into a state university by the enactment of Republic Act 9402, sponsored by the four congressional district representatives of Laguna: Hon. Benjamin C. Agarao (4th District), Hon. Danton Q. Bueser (3rd District), Hon. Justin Marc SB. Chipeco (2nd District), and Hon. Uliran T. Joaquin (1st District). This was signed into law by Her Excellency President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on March 22, 2007. Dr. Ricardo A. Wagan was given new mandate as the first University President, while the University Charter Day falls on April 10, the day the act took effect, 15 days after its publication in two newspapers of general circulation (Malaya, dated March 24, 2007, and Daily Mirror, dated March 26, 2007).
On May 3, 2011, the Board of Regents elected Dr. Nestor M. De Vera as the second University President.
