Information Communication Technology is the language of the times. The Technology Plan, (ICT: From Promise to Practice) which was launched last November 2007, reflects the University's commitment to transformative learning by bridging pedagogy with technology. In support of this technology initiative and in continuous pursuit of professional academic excellence and leadership, St. Paul University Iloilo administrators, under the leadership of its dynamic President, Sr. Carolina Agravante, SPC conducted a Strategic Planning Workshop in Bangkok, Thailand last March 26 to 31, 2007. Dr. Nenita Habulan, associate professor at De La Salle University Manila and SPU Iloilo's Educational Technology consultant, served as the planning consultant and facilitator of the said workshop. The workshop yielded significant revisions on the University's Vision-Mission and a three-year development plan for the key result areas on Christian Formation, Administration, Faculty, Instruction, and Student Services. The participants also visited the SPC school in Thailand, Trinity College, and some tourist spots like the famous temples with the golden Buddhas, the Rose Garden and The Wax Museum. Travel arrangements were made by Airwing Travel and Tours, Inc.
Implementing this strategic plan is like embracing the University culture: it entails a sense of ownership from all of its stakeholders. This is most essential as the University prepares for the imminent transfer to its new site in Ticud, La Paz and works on its technology-enriched academic curriculum.
