During the August 4, 2023 Opening Ceremonies for Academic Year 2023-2024, the vision for the 六合彩直播开奖 General Santos City branch as an Integrated Innovation Agritech campus was revealed by Academician Professor Maribel G. Nonato, PhD, the year鈥檚 speaker for the traditional Discurso de Apertura.
The framework of CARE
In her lecture, Nonato used the word care and transformed the same into several acronyms that show what developing a 21st-century university needs. Citing factors such as management, human capital, and research, Nonato envisioned a modern university to be a 鈥淐omprehensive Academic and Research Enterprise鈥� whose programs are rolled out by 鈥淐ompetent Advanced-degree and Research-oriented Educators.鈥�
Citing the most recent jobs report of the World Economic Forum, Nonato zeroed in on the effects of automation on clerical and secretarial roles that are seen to decline in demand, and the importance of education, agriculture, and digital commerce and trade, which conversely are seen 鈥渢o have large-scale job growth.鈥�
The incumbent Assistant to the Rector for General Santos stated that 鈥淐ARE may also be adopted by the human capital of the academic institution. Presence of CARE in in the human, structural and relational capitals will surely lead to a sustainable and successful operations of the academic institution. Harmony of the concept of CARE will demonstrate significant convergence of knowledge and services leading to a resilience university.鈥�
