Republic Act 7722: “Analysts of the knowledge society or knowledge economy characterize the

university not just as a generator of knowledge, an educator of young minds and

a transmitter of culture but also as a major agent of economic growth. It is both

a Research and Development laboratory and a mechanism through which the

nation builds its human capital to enable it to actively participate in the global

economy.”

PATHWAYS TO EQUITY, RELEVANCE, AND ADVANCEMENT

PATHWAYS TO EQUITY, RELEVANCE, AND ADVANCEMENT

“Seeing beyond the horizon has always been higher learning’s special concern. Universities thrive because of an insatiable yearning to understand ourselves and the world. We mold minds capable of innovation because we are able to imagine a world different from the one we live in. ”
