ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳

Chancellor's Message

My beloved ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT Community,

It is in deep humility and with fullness of the heart that I address the remarkable Institute for the first time as Chancellor. Today, we begin our journey together and I look forward to every step that we will take as we sustain the gains our dear Institute has accumulated all these years.

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT has been called the jewel of the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ System. The national and global recognitions in only a span of 53 years speak volumes of how ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT deserve such epithet. With your support, we shall live up to this bar of excellence if not surpass it. We can do this because I am firm in my conviction that empowered academic staff and good governance are among the critical factors which catapulted the Institute's incredible growth.

I thank Chancellor Sukarno Tanggol for his exemplary leadership, for the visions he dreamed and achieved for the Institute. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT stands ever taller today because we stand upon the great shoulders of a visionary leader.

A million thanks as well to Dr. Habib Macaayong, the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ System President, for steering the entire ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ towards the direction of excellence. His brand of leadership is inspiring in so many ways and, for many including myself, a paragon of a mission-driven governance in the academe.

I am also grateful for the whole ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT Community for its untiring commitment to quality and excellence. This commitment is the very fire that propels the ship forward and toward greater heights. Knowing all these, I am thrilled and humbled to be given this great opportunity to work with such eminent academic community.

This election to the chancellorship brings me full circle. I came to ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT as a boy from a small town in Lanao del Sur but with a dream. And like a parent, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT shaped and nurtured me to become the person that I am today. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT provided me a home.

I am forever thankful to ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT. I am happy because I am home.

Alizedney M. Ditucalan

Chancellor
