The College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHaSS) Executive Committee of Caraga State University conducted a benchmarking activity at the UP Diliman Psychology Department on March 26, 2025, to enhance their academic programs in instruction, research, extension, and innovation. The visit provided an opportunity to explore best practices in language studies, communication, social work, sociology, and psychology.

A heartfelt thank you to the UP Diliman Psychology Department for the warm welcome and for generously sharing their expertise and best practices. Your insights will be invaluable in advancing our academic initiatives.

We would like to thank the faculty members and university administrators from the various State Universities and Colleges across the country for participating in the fourth run of the Teaching and Learning Activities for SUCs (TaLAS) Course 1: Building a Teaching Effectiveness Program held last December 2 – 3, 2024 at the Institute for Small-Scale Industries, University of the Philippines Diliman!

This marks the fourth and final run of the Course 1 before we proceed to the next phase of our extension work.

We want to acknowledge the support and funding provided by the Office of Extension Coordination, OVCRD, UP Diliman, UPD Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and UPD Office of the Chancellor.

Finally, we extend our appreciation to our partner organization, Habi Education Lab, for helping us reach all UP CUs and SUCs across the country over the past three years. All of this would not be possible without your presence and support!

Muli, mula sa UP Diliman Office for the Advancement of Teaching, maraming salamat po! Mabuhay po kayong lahat at see you sa TaLAS Course 2!
