The **MOA SIGNING SA PGMO UG MSU-NAAWAN CAMPUS** was officially *gipahigayon*, marking a significant partnership between the Mindanao State University – Naawan Campus and the provincial government. This Memorandum of Agreement opens doors for students of MSU-Naawan to participate in the **Hospital Immersion Program** across eight provincial hospitals.  

Through this initiative, learners—particularly in the fields of *Health Services* and *Social Work*—will gain real-world, hands-on experience. By being immersed in actual hospital environments, they can apply their academic knowledge to practical situations, thus sharpening both their skills and confidence. This fusion of theory and practice creates a strong foundation, preparing them for their future careers.  

A Commitment to Students’ Growth

Chancellor Roa emphasized that Governor Uy’s support is not just a political gesture but a sincere investment in the youth. Such commitment paves the way for empowerment, enabling students to reach their dreams while becoming active contributors to positive change in society.  

Governor Juliette Uy’s administration has long championed the cause of education. One of her top priorities is ensuring that students have the necessary opportunities to grow—not only academically but also in terms of character and professional readiness. This MOA is a perfect embodiment of that vision, a bridge connecting classroom learning with the realities of public service and health care.  

**In Summary:** The **MOA SIGNING SA PGMO UG MSU-NAAWAN CAMPUS** is more than an agreement—it’s a promise to nurture the next generation of professionals. By combining resources, knowledge, and community spirit, this collaboration prepares students to become catalysts for transformation, one hospital visit at a time.
