Thus, this study examined the life concerns likely to contribute to the students' graduate school journey. The study was conducted in the College of Graduate Studies, Palompon, Leyte, Philippines, utilizing a descriptivecorrelational research design, with respondents recruited from the master's and doctoral degree programs. Relevant data were collected using survey questionnaires prepared in Google Forms. Data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, and the Spearman rank-order correlation. Results showed that the current study sample found their graduate school journey slightly good. Study findings revealed further that two demographic factors-age and work positions, were found negatively correlated with the graduate school journey, and this implies that younger graduate students tend to have better graduate school experience than older ones; and students holding supervisory positions have struggling graduate school experience. Correlation analysis indicated a significant negative relationship between work-related concerns and graduate school experience. Overall findings pinpoint the need for graduate school practitioners to consider initiatives that address students' life concerns and likewise formulate policies and guidelines that may provide them with a support system that helps students find their graduate school journey smooth, happier, and fulfilling.

Results showed that while barangay residents/beneficiaries have learned skills from the livelihood trainings/activities conducted however, these have not fully benefited them due to lack of capital and opportunities. Overall results showed that the PIT’s community extension programs and projects were successfully conducted. However the school needs to do somet...

This research determined the level of awareness, understanding and acceptance, and congruency of the vision and mission of Palompon Institute of Technology, the goals of each college and the objectives of the programs. Administrators, faculty members, non-teaching staff, students and other stakeholder representatives from various groups of government and non-government organizations and cooperating agencies are the respondents of this descriptive survey. The results show that the stakeholders are at least aware of, understand and accept the VMGO. They also believe that activities are congruent to these statements. The faculty has significantly higher level of awareness, understanding and acceptance of, and perceptions of the congruence to the VMGO. It is recommended that both the institute and CGS make more efforts in disseminating the VMGO especially to othe...
