DEBESMSCAT, UCN Forge Faculty-Sharing Partnership

The Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) and the University of Camarines Norte (UCN) have entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to strengthen faculty complementation and support DEBESMSCAT’s continuing bid for universityhood.

The agreement, represented by DEBESMSCAT SUC President III Dr. Arnel B. Millesca and UCN SUC President III Atty. Ryan L. Estevez, DPA, allows qualified UCN faculty members to serve as adjunct faculty at DEBESMSCAT, subject to their consent and applicable institutional and CHED policies.

The partnership aims to address faculty complement requirements in the College of Engineering, College of Industrial Technology, College of Education, and College of Agriculture. UCN will endorse qualified faculty members, while DEBESMSCAT will provide teaching assignments, necessary instructional support, and compensation in accordance with existing government and institutional rules.

The MOA underscores inter-institutional collaboration among State Universities and Colleges through faculty sharing and resource complementation, strengthening DEBESMSCAT’s academic capacity as it works toward meeting the requirements for institutional conversion into a university.
