About
GREETINGS! All academic institutions are tasked to generate, transmit, disseminate and apply knowledge. In order to become relevant, they should not only content themselves with disseminating knowledge but generating and applying them as well. This is exactly what the Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU) does to support and nourish the learning environment for both faculty and the students and assist other stakeholders.
The PSAU had continuously achieved quality R and D programs that lend support to the learning opportunities of communities it serves, through its extension and training advocacy. Its multi-disciplinary R and D Program, the results of which are shared and disseminated through extension and training had continuously provided imperative, critical and independent culture that supports and develops intellectual capability.
The PSAU RDET program had truly sought to advance the boundaries of knowledge and understanding. The multi-disciplinary RDET programs, implemented through the generous support of the administration, as well as national and international funding agencies and the heightened interest of the faculty to conduct RDET activities, the awards and recognitions obtained, all contributed to what had been achieved now. With this, we vow to continue what we had started , as we chart a strong, relevant research and development, extension and training culture throughout the University. Everyone is invited to join us all along!
