Davao del Sur State College (DSSC) took a significant step toward its goal of becoming a university by attending an orientation on “Universityhood” hosted by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The orientation was held on November 5, 2024, at the CHED Central Office, providing crucial insights into the requirements and standards for achieving university status.

Led by DSSC President Dr. Augie E. Fuentes, the DSSC Universityhood Taskforce sought CHED’s guidance to ensure a smooth transition. CHED's support emphasized the importance of aligning with institutional quality standards as DSSC continues its transformation. The orientation covered essential areas for DSSC's growth, including processes and requirements that will foster long-term commitments to academic excellence.

This engagement marks a vital milestone for DSSC as it works toward broadening academic opportunities and enhancing educational standards for students and faculty.
