Annual Report 2014 1

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

C hange is inevitable for the University. With just more than a year after I had assumed office of the

University, the year 2014 was a period of significant change.

This was the period of tremendous adjustments-from re-

programming of plans, fine tuning of organizational structure,

re-organizing the key officials, working out and meeting the

challenges for regional and national development goals, redi-

recting efforts in complying with outcomes-based curricular

programs, and putting more focus on becoming a center for

development in Information Technology and Engineering,

among others.

These were some of the many programs and projects that this

Administration has put its resources and pooled its manpower

in its pursuit for quality and relevant education. This may be

just an iota of a bigger picture that the University under this

administration aims to achieve in five-year time. However, this already speaks of the strong desire and

the firm commitment of the University to carry out what it envisions in the near future.

Alongside with all these noteworthy accomplishments were also the efforts of all members of the aca-

demic community in sustaining and strengthening its research and extension programs and in establish-

ing strong linkages with various partners and community engagements for more support, most espe-

cially in infrastructure and laboratory development which the University deemed to be still inadequate.

Moreover, the University also placed priority in increasing slots for student’s scholarship, and in involving

all other stakeholders like the alumni in the many undertakings and engagements that the University has

ventured into thru a functional University website.

Yet, I am fully aware that it is still a long way to go. There are still many things that the University has to

accomplish. But, with a steadfast heart and a firm conviction, and with the support of all members of

the academic community, this University shall rise as a purveyor of quality and relevant tertiary educa-

tion, most especially among the poor and the underprivileged Samarnons.

We just have to embrace change.

AVELINA N. BERGADO, Ed.D. University President

2 Annual Report 2014

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The year 2014 was a period of transition. With the change of administration brought about

by the assumption of office of a new University President in May 2014, the University still has to

adjust with new directions and perspectives. Foremost, in order to carry out the necessary change,

a new organizational structure was set up and some new faces were identified to hold certain

positions and/or designations. As a result, significant accomplishments were also attained in

various areas, most specifically in the academic affairs, research and extension, and in

administration.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

Overall, the Academic Affairs Division has accomplished most of the targets set in their

MFOs and Performance Indicators. But, before all these carried out, the organizational structure of

the Academic Affairs was also re-structured to cater to some other needs and respond to some

requirements of the University like Quality Assurance and Records Officer.

There was also an increase of enrolment, giving more focus on the effort of the University in

increasing enrolment in STEAM courses as per mandate of the Commission on Higher Education.

In terms of passing percentage rate, the University has achieved higher passing rates in most of its

board courses, in Engineering, Criminology, and Teacher Education.

Moreover, the academic affairs division also made efforts in sustaining and upgrading the

levels of its courses in terms of accreditation status. Parallel to this, reviews on curricular programs,

modification of faculty workload, revision of some manuals, particularly the Library manual, and

upgrading of faculty through sending them to various trainings and fora were made in order to

ensure that there is a sustained curriculum improvement and better academic services extended to

the students.

RESEARCH

In terms of research services, the University has also made significant accomplishments. as

indicated in their major Final Outputs (MFOs) and Performance Indicators most of their targets

were accomplished beyond the target set. The data obtained were supported with reports of

significant number of researches conducted and completed, research outputs presented in the

local, regional, national and international research for a, and research projects conducted.

Likewise, in order to strengthen research capability among faculty, some faculty have

attended workshops on research development and skills enhancement while at the same time,

established strong linkages and partnerships with various agencies and/or institutions that also

have research agenda.


EXTENSION

Most of the targets reflected in the Major Final Outputs (MFOs) and Performance Indicators

in the extension services were also achieved, if not achieved higher than the target set. Extension

services were rated by the trainees and/or clients as good or better in terms of delivery, timeliness,

and relevance. These trainings focused on technology development, livelihood development,

environmental management, health, agriculture and information technology in which the University

has the capability and the thrust vis-à-vis its extension programs and projects.

ADMINISTRATION

For the administration, what was worth-noting in terms of their accomplishments were the

speedy infrastructure development, the delivery of better services to its clientele, most especially the

students, and the support extended to faculty and staff in terms of their career growth and

development.

The Administration also ensured a stable financial status, having to venture into some

income generating programs and at the same time, source out for funding support from outside or

external agencies and/or organizations in the implementation of its projects.

SAN JORGE CAMPUS

The San Jorge Campus has also made relevant accomplishments for the CY 2014. Based on

its report, there was an increase of enrolment, increase of graduates, a remarkable performance in

terms of passing percentage in the Teacher Education area and Forestry to include passers in

various competency assessments administered by TESDA. It also submitted one of its programs,

the BS in Information Technology as candidate for Level 1 accreditation. Aside from these, the

school also exerted its efforts in upgrading the research capabilities of faculty and staff through the

conduct of various researches and attendance in research fora, and the delivery of programs in line

with the extension and other services.


“I admire her courage for taking the challenge head on with determination to make a difference…women

are more passionate and selfless leaders…”

These were the words of the DBM Regional Director, Ms. Imelda Laceras during the Investiture Ceremony

of the 2nd University President of the Northwest Samar State University, Dr. Avelina N. Bergado last August 8,

2014 at Reynaldo S. Uy

Socio-Cultural Center.

It was indeed a

warm Friday afternoon

when the program

started with a solemn

Eucharistic celebration

presided by Rev. Fr.

Niceas “Botsoi”

Abejuela and Rev. Fr.

Roland Cajegas which

was followed by a

ceremonial tree

planting.

In the evening,

the event took off with

an ecumenical prayer

led by Rev. Fr. Roland

Cajegas, Minister Wish Galosmo, and Imam Omping. As the scroll of appointment was read to Dr. Avelina N.

Bergado, a resounding applause filled the hall. The VIPS composed of Hon. Roman Romulo, Chair of Education

Committee at the House of Representatives, Congressman Mel Sarmiento, Hon. City Mayor Ronald P. Aquino,

Atty. Mar P. De Asis, UEP University President and PASUC President, some University Presidents from different

SUCs in the region, Ms. Imelda Laceras, DBM Regional Director, among others, graced the affair and gave their

felicitations to the newly installed University President.

The inaugural speech of the newly installed University President foremost expressed her gratitude to all

those who trusted her capacity as a leader and further reminisced all her struggles before she reached her

present status. For the University President, it was hard work that really mattered, after all.

Indeed, the Investiture Ceremony marked another milestone in the history of the institution and amidst

challenges, opportunities, transition, change and development, the entire academic community was still very

optimistic that the University will bring its laurels with pride, honor and glory, not just in this part of the region,

but in the country, as well.


T he year 2014 was characterized by challenges, opportunities,

transition, change and development. Yet, with all the efforts

exerted, this critical period in the University’s history has brought

with it one of the University’s biggest opportunities: identifying challenges

and moving forward after a period of change and discovery. With the new

President, Dr. Avelina N. Bergado, a new set of key university officials was

identified and a new organizational structure was put in place to bring about

the desired form of governance and management. New policies and

practices were likewise introduced to hasten implementation of the new

program thrusts and priorities. Amidst the reorganization, change and

development, substantial efforts were directed to maintaining a positive

working environment.

The Office of Academic Affairs has initiated a wide array of activities and

other functions to support the academic mission of the university. It provides

leadership to achieve the highest standards in teaching, learning and service. It

undoubtedly made many direct contributions to all that NwSSU achieved in the school year that has just ended.

Through the cooperation of the different college deans and directors, the faculty/staff and entire studentry, the

many plans of new university president were realized. Although some of these plans are still in progress, what was

consoling to note was that everyone in the academic division from higher education to advanced education,

manifested his/her commitment and offered full support to the University’s bid for service and excellence in this

part of the region through its academic programs.

Data show that the highest enrolment in the science, technology, engineering, agriculture and

mathematics

(STEAM) courses

in both school

years was on the

technology

courses with an

average of 2,000

students followed

by engineering

which is actually

almost one third

as compared to

technology

courses.

Furthermore, it

can be gleaned

from the data

presented that it is

in the mathematics

and agriculture

areas that enrolment were lagging behind. Admittedly, the University needs to focus on in terms of coming up

with strategies of increasing enrolment in the said areas.

Graduates

A total of 1,042 students graduated in all programs during the Calendar Year 2013 and 1,156 during the

Calendar Year 2014. There was a slight increase in number of graduates (10.6%) in CY 2014.

R esearch and teaching are vitally and inseparable linked. The

enthusiasm to conduct scholarly research activities is mirrored

in teaching endeavors, and teaching endeavors are enhanced

by scholarly research. However, not all teachers have passion for

engaging in research. As such, it is a big challenge to the Office of

Research, Development and Extension in creating a research culture

among faculty members in the University. With the reorganization carried

out by the new President, the new set of officials in the Research and

Extension Offices set new directions and implemented innovative

strategies in the management of research and extension activities. These

resulted to a better research outputs and a more responsive and relevant

extension activities.

Accomplishments of MFO 3 (Research Services) and MFO 4 (Extension

Services) for FY 2014 vis-a-vis targets showed that only one performance

indicator under MFO 3, where the university got below 90% accomplishment rate. The high accomplishment

rate obtained in other performance indicators showed the hard work done by the Office in making research

and extension in the University unstoppable.
