Dr. Elbert Galas welcomed the members of the media saying the presentation of the developments, various activities and programs that PSU Is undertaking is part of the university core values of accountability and integrity.

The convergence of the Province of Pangasinan and PSU would bring an ideal environment aimed at forging partnership for the betterment of the two institutions,” Dr. Buted said.

“Now, there are a lot of things that can be done with the provincial government and the municipal and city government that could benefit our employees and students,” he added.

PSU and the Provincial Government of Pangasinan will be signing a memorandum of agreement soon for the different programs and projects regarding research, community extension program, scholarships, use of facilities and the gender and development programs.
