🎓MPA and DPA Research Orientation: A Step Forward in Academic Excellence! 🎓
We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the MPA and DPA Virtual Research Orientation: Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Review Workshop held on September 28, 2024. This event was designed to guide our graduate students in navigating essential research processes, equipping them with critical skills to excel in their thesis and dissertation journey.
Key highlights of the event included:
Insightful discussions on the validity of theses/dissertations and the publication requirements led by Dr. Rona Celeste V. Pasamonte.
An overview of the CPAG Research Agenda and Thesis Format provided by Dr. Richard Ian Mark T. Necosia and Dr. Christine B. Tenorio, respectively.
A comprehensive presentation on Approaches of Research in Public Administration by Dr. Christine B. Tenorio.
Guidance on the services offered by the University Statistical Center by Engr. Amber A. Paguray.
The afternoon session focused on hands-on training, with Dr. Ajree D. Malawani leading the workshop on Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Review. This session allowed participants to dive deep into research methodologies that will be invaluable in their future projects.
The open forums in both sessions encouraged interactive discussions, addressing participant queries and enhancing understanding. Thank you to all the speakers and participants for making this orientation a resounding success! Let's continue working together to produce impactful research in public administration.

Last September 7, 2024, BukSU Graduate Studies hosted an insightful General Student Orientation with the theme: 'Empower, Engage, Evolve: Starting SMART in the Graduate Program.' A special acknowledgment goes to MPA and DPA Program Chair, Dr. Christine B. Tenorio, and CPAG Dean, Dr. Lalevie C. Lubos, for their continuous support, along with the brilliant professors of the CPAG Graduate Program who inspire us to reach new heights.

Together, Master of Public Administration and Doctor of Public Administration students are set to embark on this academic journey empowered, engaged, and ready to evolve. Here’s to starting strong and striving for excellence! 💡📚✨
