Daguil.

The promoted faculty members earnestly pledged to the advancement and extension of knowledge, recognizing that they have obligations to students, to their fellow faculty, to the staff, to Caraga State University, its stakeholders and to the public.

“To ensure that everybody understands teaching as a moral vocation. Recognizing research and scholarly works as a public trust and accepting professional service as a societal obligation. That in pursuing the responsibilities, they must recognize that instruction, research, extension, and production are also their fundamental responsibilities that must be continuously balanced. That teaching lies at the heart of the mission of the University. And to uphold the mantra that the heart of education is the education of the heart.”

He also mentioned a bit of his LIKHA agenda. How CSU will recalibrate its systems to fit it to his vision of CSU becoming a socially engaged entrepreneurial and digital university excelling globally in science, engineering, and the arts by 2026. As an innovation University, CSU will be a responsible steward of solution finders and value creators driven to create a sustainable future for the region, the nation, and beyond. PICO
