Luzon Science Consortium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Luzon Science Consortium was organized by the founding member institution namely Central Luzon State University (CLSU), Cagayan State University (CSU) and Isabela State University (ISU) known as CLSU-CSU-ISU Science Consortium on September 17, 1982. The prime objective of consortium was to improve science education in Luzon upon the advise of the Science Education Institute of the Department of Science and Technology under the Institution Building Program (IBP) of the then National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA)- Science Promotion Institute.
In 1991, the Nueva Viscaya State Institute of Technology (NVSIT), Nueva Viscaya State Polytechnic College (NVSPC) and Quirino State College (QSC) joined its roster of membership with high motivation that their science programs would also be enriched. In the same year, the presidents and representatives of the six member-institutions formally changed the name CLSU-CSU-ISU Science Consortium with acronym LSC.
The Luzon Science Consortium since then has carved a name in the four regions in Luzon namely Regions I,II, III and IV as a prestigious organization that promotes science education among students and faculty of state universities and colleges.
[edit] Governance
The management of the Luzon Science Consortium is vested in the LSC Council headed by an elected Chair who serves for one calendar year. The Chair is rotated among the presidents of the regular member institutions. On the other hand, the elected Vice-Chair of the council automatically assumes the chair of the Council the succeeding chair.
[edit] Mission
With adherence to the LSC Vision, the Luzon Science Consortium shall sustain and maintain quality education in Mathematics, Breeder Sciences and Technology among the SUC’s member as well as other institutions of higher learning in Luzon.
