Gearing up to become a fully integrated smart campus, MSU-IIT’s infrastructure projects lean toward innovative and technology-driven mechanisms. Adding to this vision is launching the College of Computer Studies’ (CCS) Project Wolfpack on April 2, 2025, at the CCS building.
The IT infrastructure of the campus continues to thrive with this initiative aimed at revolutionizing and strengthening the learning environment for CCS students, with features such as Hyflex rooms—tech-enabled hybrid classrooms with IdeaHubs, iBoards, tracking cameras, and microphones intended to maximize in-person and remote learning.
Attending the Project Wolfpack’s launch were the University Chancellor, Alizedney M. Ditucalan, CCS faculty members, students, and representatives from Huawei, the digital partners for this endeavor.
CCS Dean, Prof. Rabby Lavilles, expressed his gratitude for the administration and the Center for Information and Communication Technology’s (CICT) support in elevating the learning experience of CCS and urged the CCS faculty members to lead in implementing technology-driven pedagogy as they explore and optimize the new facilities provided.
Chancellor Ditucalan, in his inspirational message, congratulated the college on this milestone and hoped that the students and the faculty would take care of the facilities.
“My hope really is that this technology will enhance their learning experience because useless ang technology if it does not enhance the learning experience of the students, and at the same time does not also augment the teaching modality and teaching experience of the faculty. Technology should enhance pedagogy and the learning of students,” the Chancellor said.
The launch was marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the third floor of the CCS building, where the attendees had a tour of the newly incorporated facilities.
The Chancellor, in his Facebook post, said that the long-term goal is to connect “all colleges into a seamless, collaborative learning environment” with plans to recalibrate the learning facilities of the College of Science and Mathematics already in progress.
