Extension Programs

West Visayas State University seeks to produce globally competitive learners and resilient communities through needs driven and responsive extension programs and projects anchored on strategic thrusts such as health, environment, livelihood and pedagogy (WVSU HELPs) as well as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The university seek to bolster the academic strengths of colleges by directing resources to address emerging issues that will enhance relevance and impact of extension programs. The following program thrusts enable WVSU to be a better partner in building resilient communities:

1. HEALTH programs mobilize communities, create awareness and encourage direct involvement to address health, well-being and other social problems of individuals, families and communities.

2. ENVIRONMENT programs allow communities to explore environmental issues and take actions to preserve, conserve and improve the environment.

3. LIVELIHOOD programs provide alternative solutions to socio-economic problems of marginalized and less privileged individuals by assisting them to gain a more meaningful and productive way of life.

4. PEDAGOGY programs are designed to assist development of community of learners using appropriate methodologies and modalities in disseminating and transferring technologies.
