About OVPRE

The creation of the Office for VP for Research and Extension was a bold move for this administration. With the effort to have unity in Research and Extension agenda of the system, the creation of this office was a great step. Taking the BOR Approved Resolution No. 458, 2022, the said creation is explained below:

Throughout its rich history, the Mindanao State University (MSU) System has continually found new ways to meet its mission to lead in social transformation through peace education and integration of Muslims and other cultural minority groups into the mainstream society and to ensure excellence in instruction, research development, innovation, extension. and environmental education and discovery. This commitment places a premium on focused research, active community engagement throughout the MINSUPALA region, and outstanding educational programs across all disciplines. In addition to these shared values, each MSU system campus has its own history, a distinct mission, and a set of strengths that impact the nature and scope of its activities. Hence, the unique qualities of each MSU campus must be nurtured and sustained, not only with an eye to how they complement one another but also with due consideration for what sets them unique.

Relationships among the MSU campuses are collegial and collaborative in nature, but in order to accelerate the research activities and mobility of researchers and scientists of the entire university system, the creation of MSU System Vice President for Research and Extension is proposed.
