FACULTY NARRATIVE REPORT
The first semester of the 2023-2024 academic year started in September 2023. With events such as
the MSU Founding Anniversary and Intramurals on the calendar, this semester was filled with activity. This
influx of events has led to a somewhat chaotic timetable, encroaching upon the ordinary academic activities
The ebb and flow of holidays and university events throughout the term has had a significant effect on
the educational atmosphere. These occurrences have distorted the usual schedule, triggered disruptions and
prompted the need for shifts in instructional strategies and administrative tasks. The influence of holidays and
university activities has been quite impactful, necessitating mindful planning and coordination to uphold the
My responsibilities at MSU-CHS now encompass the Graduate Studies Coordinator role, as I have
been designated the position. Alongside my usual faculty duties, I am charged to implement the recently ratified
MSU GS Handbook. This serves as a reference for various colleges that offers graduate programs.
Dean and Chairman of the Nursing Department, involves bringing the MSU GS Handbook alive. This critical
guide, approved by the MSU Board of Regents (BOR), is the lodestone for all colleges at MSU-CHS that
provide graduate programs. It frames the guiding principles, processes, and demands that everyone involved
in the graduate studies lifecycle, from faculty to students, must agree to abide by. Hence, my coordinator role
demands vigilance in ensuring the handbook rules are stridently executed and its essence communicated to
every party involved. This necessitates staging, archival meetings, and educational seminars to acquaint both
Moreover, the duties of the Graduate Studies Coordinator encompass a diverse array of
responsibilities. Chief among these is management oversight of the graduate studies program at MSU-CHS,
with the guidance of the Dean of the College. This means liaising with all vested interests - faculty, students,
and administrative personnel - to guarantee the seamless functioning of every component of the program.
Beyond coordination, the role involves functioning as a link between students in the graduate program and the
upper echelons of the institution, responding to concerns, and handling any issues. Additionally, the
coordinator must pave the way for the application of the MSU GS Handbook and safeguard the observance of
Talking about my designation, I was privileged with a chance to visit MSU-SULU and appraise the
ongoing efforts of the MAN extension program under the Graduate Studies at MSU-CHS. It served as a critical
occasion to see in real-time the various challenges as well as the status of the MAN extension program.
Throughout my time at MSU-SULU, together with the Dean, Assistant Dean and the then Chairperson,
I was able to discern multiple facets of the MAN extension program and delineate noteworthy findings. Among
them was the tenacity and zeal of the faculty and staff, in their pursuit to offer high-cadre education to their
students. Their resilience and fervor were conspicuous, even in situations with underequipped resources and
plights.
Before the semester ends, one incident shocked the country. One of the highlights of this semester is
the unfortunate incident that has taken away lives and injured our brothers and sisters during their mass at the
Dimaporo Gymnasium. This has a huge impact on the safety and security of the students and faculty that had
This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through our community. It has raised levels of fear and
unease, undermining the existent feeling of security within the campus. This elevated state of concern now
affects every individual in the community, impacting the well-being of each student and faculty member. Belief
in our institution's capacity to provide a safe environment has been seriously questioned. In light of this incident,
it becomes crucial to reevaluate and bolster our safety protocols, with a goal to reinstate a sense of security
In response to the incident at Dimaporo Gymnasium, swift actions were implemented to strengthen
the safety and security of both the students and the teaching staff. The university leadership joined hands with
local police forces to augment their presence and vigilance on the campus grounds. More security staff were
recruited and strategically placed in critical locations to augment scrutiny and dissuade potential threats.
The academic hiatus of one week following the unfortunate incident at Dimaporo Gymnasium carries
significant ramifications for the student and faculty members. This pause serves as a vital time allotment for
the collective academic community to mourn, digest the shock, and reconcile themselves with the unfortunate
event that transpired. This somehow facilitates essential emotional recovery and introspection, crucial for
individual and community wellness. The break also presents a window for the students and faculty to access
necessary support, including counseling services if required. This support framework is instrumental in aiding
individuals handle the emotional consequences of the event, thereby fostering their overall psychological
health.
With all the challenges this first semester bring forth, still we remained resilient. It tested our faith to
the people, to the officials and to the government as well. Nevertheless, we need to move forward and leave
behind all the unfortunate past but bringing with us the learnings and realizations.
