NMSCST’s Vision, Mission and
Goals
VISION
An ecologically responsive University in Southern Philippines
that fosters a culture of innovation and sustainability on the
quality of lives in the community it serves.
The most constant thing in your
life is change. Today, the world
A
is fast-changing and evolving. To
survive, one has to adapt to
situations and fit oneself with
positivity. Everything suddenly
changes into not so familiar
ADAPTIVE situations specifically the
learning environment in these
extraordinary times.
Self-reliance is self-trust and
independence. Depending on
S
others for help means there will
be times when help isn’t
available. Growing old,
problem-solving and decision-
making becomes critical because
you’ll have to face life
SELF-RELIANT independently. This will allow
you to be happy without relying
from others.
INFORMATION SHEET: 2
This means taking responsibility
of one’s life and thinking about
P
one’s future; planning and
preparing for what lies ahead.
Someone who is proactive does
not allow circumstances to
control over one’s decisions,
instead, one makes better use of
resources including time and
PRO-ACTIVE
energy to prevent problems
from occurring.
I
Creativity is the mother of
innovation. It is coming up with
ideas where one subconsciously
applies daily life scenarios.
Creativity, the thinking process
is the seed while innovation is
INNOVATIVE
the productive process, hence,
the plant.
By readily reacting positively and
R
quickly or responding
appropriately sympathetically to
suggestions, influences, appeals
or efforts, one is noted to being
responsive. To become
responsive means to live with the
RESPONSIVE
idea of being ready who’s willing
and available when help is
needed.
Personal empowerment is about
taking control of your own life,
and making positive decisions
based on what you want. It's
closely linked to attributes like
E
self-esteem and self-confidence,
but true empowerment comes
when you convert intention into
action. Empower yourself so you
can also empower others and by
offering positive feedback for
EMPOWERING showing responsibility and
taking ownership supports
initiative. It also makes people
feel valued and appreciated,
which fosters a positive work
environment.
ASPIRE to INSPIRE

and administration and management, health sciences and other

services and production activities in support of the socioeconomic
development of the Province of Misamis Occidental, and provide
