DSSC Research, Development, and Extension (RDE) successfully conducted the Agency In-House Review (AIHR) 2024 for Student Category (Undergraduate and Graduate Levels) on May 31, 2024, at Arnaldo’s Hotel and Restaurant, Digos City.

This wrapped up the best research papers of the graduating students, produced with quality and excellence.

College President Dr. Augie E. Fuentes highlighted the relevance of the students’ research output, which would be of great help in the future, especially in recommending policies and programs to beneficiaries and the community. Dr. Cherry Ann P. Roxas, RDI Director, also stressed that the great advocacy of the RDE Office is to have a great avenue for research dissemination and to create excellent recommendations for possible policies and extension projects.

The event was made more exciting by the invited esteemed panel of evaluators, comprised of Engr. Renel Alucilja, Cacao Research Center-In-Charge of the University of Southern Mindanao; Dr. Misael B. Clapano, VP-RDE of Davao Oriental State University; and Dr. Della Grace G. Bacaltos, RDE Director of Davao Central College.

One of the main goals of the DSSC is to make students more aware of the current concerns and how to do research to discover answers. Additionally, by participating in this activity, the graduating students established the institution's research culture, inspired other students to develop more advanced critical thinking abilities, and fostered significant learning opportunities.

Further, this activity was also done to screen who will be among the student-researchers to be awarded as this year's Best Research Paper, Best Policy, and Best Poster Presentation in both graduate and undergraduate categories. The awarding will happen during the Commencement Exercises 2024.
