MESSAGE OF CAMPUS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

             Most educational institutions in the Philippines and worldwide share a common aim, which is to provide quality education to students using the expertise of highly skilled educators and a supportive administration. PSU Infanta Campus has implemented development programs over an extended period, which have been instrumental in shaping the attitudes and intellect of our students. Our efforts have resulted in the creation of competent individuals who are committed to serving their communities and the people. Despite the ongoing global challenges, the Campus remains steadfast in its commitment to fulfilling its mandate, which aligns with the overarching mission of the university. We recognize that our mission as a learning institution is to enhance the quality of life and means of subsistence for the communities we serve and to contribute to the process of nation-building.

           To remain competitive in today’s Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) world, our university offers a comprehensive range of professional development activities and extension programs to meet the needs of our teaching and non-teaching staff. These programs are meticulously designed to ensure that our staff members maintain their competency levels while satisfying the requirements of our accreditation partners. It is of utmost importance that both teaching and non-teaching staff take full advantage of the professional development opportunities provided by the university to enhance their skills and knowledge. By doing so, not only will they reap personal benefits, but they will also have a positive impact on the university’s ability to deliver high-quality education. Our university is committed to providing our staff members with the necessary resources to excel in their roles. We believe that investing in our staff members’ professional development is critical to our success as an institution, and we encourage all staff members to take advantage of the opportunities available to them. The PSU-Infanta Campus is working towards elevating Pangasinan State University to become a leading industry-driven state university in the ASEAN Region.

          We are confident that the faculty members’ continued participation in the development program will have a positive impact on the quality of education and the overall success of the university. We remain committed to providing an excellent academic environment that supports the growth and development of our students and faculty members. This Faculty Development Plan has been carefully crafted to discuss and aid faculty members in assessing their annual performance and career advancement in alignment with the accreditation standards of the Pangasinan State University and in different aspects such as the level of competencies of the faculty members in research, extension projects, leading learning, complex problem-solving, etc. It offers a comprehensive framework detailing the procedures for yearly review, pre-tenure evaluation, tenure and promotion criteria, and post-tenure assessment. To assess its progress and estimate the time required to achieve its goals, the campus is submitting its programs to different regulating and accrediting bodies. Special mention in this walk is the guidance of Dr. Elbert M. Galas, the University President, and the dedicated workforce of the PSU-Infanta Campus. Furthermore, this plan will show how to equip faculty members with crucial information regarding the resources at their disposal for fostering their professional development.

PSU Infanta History

The College of Agriculture in Infanta, Pangasinan was created by PD 1494 signed by President Marcos on June 11, 1978. On the same day, PD 1497 was signed by the President, establishing the Pangasinan State University (PSU) which integrated the college level courses of six state-funded institutions in Pangasinan, the College of Agriculture in Infanta was integrated as the seventh. PSU became officially operational on July 1, 1979 but the College of Agriculture in Infanta started its operation on June 1981 and earned its autonomous status in January 1983.

In August 16, 1978, President Marcos proclaimed the 1000 hectares in Barangay Bamban, Infanta for the College (Proclamation No. 1771 series of 1978). Concerned leaders of Pangasinan helped in the preparations, among whom are: Hon. Jacobo C. Clave, Vice Governor of Pangasinan (Formerly Presidential Executive Assistant), Governor Aguedo F. Agbayani and the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan; the Honorable Assemblymen of Pangasinan; Mayor Cesar Vallarta and the members of the Sangguniang Bayan of Infanta, including the Barangay Officials of Bamban and nearby barangays.

Director Benjamin Mercado of the Ministry of Budget, Region I and his staff with PSU officials visited the site in early 1980 and recommended (and finally approved) the construction in CY 1981 of one Administration Building, Farm Machinery Building, and Agricultural Building and a water tank to start the educational institution in Western Pangasinan and nearby Zambales to serve the educational needs of the youth.

The College of Agriculture in Infanta has a wide agricultural and forest reserves which serve as training ground for the students and all agencies committed to development. It is about 7.5 Km. from the town proper and located near San Felipe River, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) dam, and the white clay mines.

While the buildings and the roads are under construction, the college holds its classes in some of the rooms in the elementary schools in Infanta town on arrangement with the provincial schools Superintendent and MEC Officials.

During the School Year 1989-1990, the Agricultural Education Outreach Project (AEOP) Student Village Training Center (SVTC) was implemented in cooperation with the DECS thus bolstering the college’s quest for relevance.  PSU Infanta shifts its offering to a more intensive program-the BSA, major in Farming Systems, a special ladderized course for poor but deserving students from the province of Pangasinan.

PSU Infanta started with curricular offerings such as the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with majors in Crop Science and Animal Science, the Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Technology (Integrated Elementary and High School), and the two year Associate in Agricultural Technology together with the four year Secondary Level (High School) oriented towards vocational agriculture
