The Cavite State University (CSU) has its humble beginnings in 1906 as the Indang Intermediate School with the American Thomasites as the first teachers. Several transformations in the name of the school took place in Indang Farm School in 1918, Indang Rural High School in 1927, and Don Severino National Agriculture School in 1958. In 1964, the school was converted into a State College by Republic Act 3917 and became known as Don Severino Agricultural College (DSAC).
On January 22, 1998, by Republic Act No.8468, DSAC was converted into Cavite State University. In 2001, Cavite College of Fisheries (CACOF) in Naic, Cavite, and Cavite College of Arts and Trade (CCAT) in Rosario, Cavite, was integrated into the University under CHED Memo No. 27 s. 2000. Since then, additional campuses in the province were established through memoranda of agreement with the LGUs. At present, CSU has 11 campuses in the province. The main campus, approximately 70 hectares in land area and named Don Severino de las Alas Campus, is in Indang, Cavite.
CSU is mandated "to provide excellent, equitable and relevant educational opportunities in the arts, sciences, and technology through quality instruction, and responsive research and development activities. It shall produce professional, skilled, and morally upright individuals for global competitiveness."

After the books were cataloged, the library finally opened its door to the users in November 1980. Since its opening, its collection has increased to 106,459 volumes (92,199 titles). It has acquired a total of 5,055 series titles (journals, newsletters, annual reports, newspapers, bulletins, popular magazines, etc.)
The present University library has been named Ladislao N. Diwa Memorial Library and Museum (LDMLM) since its launching on July 14, 1997, in recognition of the various contributions of Ladislao N. Diwa and his heirs to the library. The International Students of United Nations hoped to unite with the University to model all international students in the University to lift higher the University's Vision in developing globally competitive and morally upright individuals.
International Students of the United Nations shall comply with all academic rules and regulations of the University to achieve the Vision and mission set forth by University. It shall uphold and utilize all relevant and educational opportunities in the University's colleges to promote and protect the University's high reputation from 1906 to date. It shall produce law-abiding and peaceful candidates who will serve as crusaders to attract other foreigners into the University.
Sequel to, and in support of the Vision, mission, and by-laws, our aims and objectives are to have a unified body of international students who will support and encourage each other to maintain the focus that led us into the Philippines and much more into Cavite State University. And also, taking our studies more severe to graduate with honors was possible to make our parents, sponsors, supporters, our countries, instructors, professors, and the University proud.
The dream of setting up an organization on behalf of international students in Cavite State University was hatched on a good day that Mahel ThankGod A. perused through the student handbook and found out on page 5, 6, where the handbook states that when international students are more than 5, an adviser should be designated to look after their welfare. Based on these academic rules and regulations, the said name and person above met with the dean of student affairs with the sole aim to inquire if international students in the University had any adviser. However, at the end of the meeting with the dean, records showed none, and at that juncture, the dean promised that an organization would put in place and appoint someone to man it. Hence, we wish to thank the dean and Cavite State University immensely for fulfilling their promise, giving birth to International Students of the United Nations (UN). The said organization was formally inaugurated on August 15, 2012, and Mahel ThankGod Amukele, a second-year student of the College of Arts and Sciences taking up Bachelor of Arts in English, was recommended to be the President of the organization. The recommendation was ratified on August 28, 2012, general meeting and the election of officers of ISUN. The organization had its first general meeting on August 28, 2012, and the following officer was elected and dedicated to the office.
