Brother Roly
calls for renewal,
research, development
DLSU
System President Brother Rolando Dizon, FSC reiterates his
call for a stronger commitment among the System units to work
towards being resource for God and country. Renewal, Research
and Development, or RRD 2002 for short, will be the battle
cry for the year and will likewise form the framework for
the President’s priority programs.
With the current political atmosphere, Brother Roly advocates
a strong institutional renewal, beginning with evangelizing
our own community, specifically in “improving the quality
of relationships within the System.” The renewal process will
also engage the community in reviewing comprehensively both
the mission-vision, as well as the core curriculum to assess
if the institution still serves the needs of students and
the country in general.
Meanwhile, the President sees that DLSU-M will take the lead
in initiating a comprehensive research program from which
quality pure and applied research will be produced, even as
he encourages other units to continue working on their strength
in applied research. On the other hand, he likewise seeks
to look into our community service program and to make it
an opportunity for faculty and students to “go out, serve,
and share with communities who need a lot of assistance.”
Brother Roly will share the components of the RRD 2002 program
and corresponding projects with DLSU System Administrators’
Workshop on January 10. The Brother President will propose
the move to shift the current presidential form of government
to either federal presidential or federal parliamentary. He
will form a team of faculty members with backgrounds in political
science and economics to prepare a study on the issue.
In the area of benefits, Brother Roly will articulate the
expansion of the President’s Scholarship Program which will
entitle PhD holders one scholarship, and Full Professors,
two scholarships for their children or any relative. The program
is meant to encourage faculty members to pursue their doctoral
degrees and increase their qualification.
As a final note, Brother Roly says that he hopes “La Salle
will take a stronger and more proactive role in the affairs
of the country and in shaping the key events of the nation.”
