Colegio de Masinloc, a newly established local college in Zambales, benchmarked six offices in Tarlac State University on Wednesday (June 19) at the Main AVR.
CDM President Dr. Feliciano Rosete and his team visited the Office of Management Information System, Office of Admission and Registration, Office of Planning, Budget Management Unit, Office of Human Resource Management and Development, and the Office of Curriculum and Instruction.
OMIS Director Dr. Marlon V. Gamido shared the number of servers, firewalls, software, and systems developed by their office, namely the student portal and employee portal, and some best practices like the Automated Faculty Evaluation System.
Dr. Gamido also shared the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) System and the Follett System of the Office of Library Management Services.
The CDM delegates also visited the OAR, where they learned about the admission and enrollment processes for incoming first-year students, filing of documents, forms available on the TSU website, and the students' Report of Grades and Certificate of Registration.
Meanwhile, OAR Director Dr. Theda Flare G. Quilala discussed the College of Engineering's bridging programs.
Pres. Rosete said they are planning to expand their local college by offering more non-board and board programs while strengthening their curriculum, research, and extension services.
He added that local officials are eyeing to open the college to non-Masinloc residents to offer educational opportunities to students from nearby towns.
The delegates also consulted with the university regarding its Land Use Development and Infrastructure Plan in line with their college's ten-hectare lot expansion.
Moreover, Planning Director Dr. Jay R. Pabustan highlighted the importance of establishing a research agenda and aligning activities to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which are part of the university's best practices on research and extension. (jlmm-OPA)
