GS Professors All Geared Up for Research

The Graduate School opens SY 2011-2012 with professors gearing toward conducting research. With Dr. Noreen E. Pontillas of CUREXO-IDS leading the group, the professors attended the seminar on Problem Conceptualization last July 9, 2011 with Prof. Noel Alegre as the resource person and facilitator. This is just one part of a series of seminars that will be conducted under the Graduate School Research Training Program. This training program is a refresher program given the high level of research skills among the Graduate School Faculty. Hence, the program serves as a road map for the faculty to conduct their researches within one school year, ensuring that quality outputs are produced. With the multidisciplinary nature of the Graduate School, this program provides a venue for the faculty to do interdisciplinary and collaborative research projects. Below are the Training Phases of the Program:
