Capistrano, together with her faculty members, visited the Agricultural Training Institute – Regional Training Center 13 (ATI-RTC 13) last August 19, 2021.
The purpose of the visit was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as a renewal for the integration of e-Learning for Agriculture and Fisheries of DA-ATI to the school curriculum of ASSCAT. For more than a decade, ASSCAT has utilized the free, short online courses offered by ATI. Many of its agriculture students have used it to supplement the learnings they gained inside the classroom. As online platform has become more relevant in this time of pandemic, the school has realized to further strengthen its partnership with ATI and maximize the use of its e-Learning program.
Just this month, the school was converted into Agusan del Sur State University (ADSU) by virtue of R.A. 11586 signed by President Rodrigo R. Duterte.
