The outbreak of the pandemic Covid19 is likened to a strong surge of water that gushed to the shore – strong, impactful, and dreaded.

The Mountain Province State Polytechnic College inked its 28th Charter Anniversary on January 17, 2020 and commemorated this significant event “the MPSPC way”. This year’s celebration was designed with various activities that espoused the theme “Accelerating Social Transformation through Academic Excellence and Collaborative Partnership the MPSPC Way.” As the theme implies, the College is persistent in its pursuit to effect meaningful change that bears an MPSPC trademark within its turf and across the larger communities that it serves. As such, the 28th Charter Anniversary celebration also centered on recognizing the vitality of the College’s partnerships with different agencies, institutions and groups who share that same vision of the College. Twenty years after its conversion from a community college to a state college, and soon to a state university, MPSPC embraces the need to sustain and accelerate its momentum towards academic excellence and quality service.
