Department of Agricultural and Food Engineering (DAFE), Sugar Palm Research, Information and Trade (SPRINT) Center, and Department of Information Technology (DIT) merged to create a collaborative extension project and to revive the Kaong Extension Project of the university. The faculty members from DAFE, represented by Dr. Marilyn Escobar, Engr. Al Owen Ferrera, and Engr. Richelle Mae Mendoza-Olpot, collaborated and communicated to respective departments to strengthen one of the extension activities of the department, specifically the Kaong Project.
The series of initial meetings were already conducted to conceptualize and craft the proposals, initiatives, as well as the calendar of activities about the said extension project. These had also identified the specialization of each department resulting to an improved and beneficial extension project for the target communities and individuals. The kick start of the project will be on September by training our adaptor, and later on can be extended to our adopted LGU, and other interested individuals.
