Experts On Call

INTRODUCTION
The College of Arts and Communication started out as Liberal

Arts providing liberal education courses.

The conversion of SIT

into the University of Eastern Philippines led to the opening of

the College of Arts and Sciences. Two decades later, CAS was made
a University College and consequently departmentalization took
place to respond to the enormous function of providing general
education in all courses offered in the University.

The College of Arts and Communication formally started as an

academic unit of the University on 1996.

2. Extend services in endeavors such as community mobilization
towards development of dynamic leaders and leadership;
3. Spur

the

service

development
and

humanity,

of

strong

national

sense

of

commitment

consciousness

and

to

self-

reliance among others;

4. Build strong protectors of the ecosystem, and guardians of
cultural heritage;

5. Campaign and advocate on issues concerning children, women,

the marginalized, the disabled and challenged; and
6. Develop an army of agents of change in the local communities
galvanized by the spirit of self-reliance, understanding,
cooperation, participation and camaraderie.

III. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

By operation, this proposal shall be implemented within
an academic year and the rest to come. It shall be effective
in manners and methodologies ranging from requests, Memorandum
of Agreement (MOA) for services, community organization and
mobilization, production of IEC materials and other advocacy
and campaign paraphernalia which in effect shall result to
muniments of linkages and collaboration between and among the
CAC,

the

local

and

international

communities,

government

Such MOA provides a strong

documentation of faculty involvement beyond the classroom and

the academic activities.

The same instrument provides for

sustainability of projects and programs forging linkages and

network building to further collaborations.

Organizational Set-up
The Department of Languages and Communication identified
its faculty members based on their specialized discipline/s.
Such identification comprises the list of Experts On Call for
the department.

However, when necessary, the same Experts On

Call are tapped to help the other departments of the CAC in

carrying out their extension activities.

Selected faculty members of the department are assigned

to the CAC Extension Unit Services to ensure participation and
appropriate implementation of programs and projects.

Such

membership is made official with the issuance of a Special

Order issued by the Office Dean of the College.

Other Staff Requirement

To ensure a wide participation in the CAC extension

services, senior students are tapped to provide services also
based on their baccalaureate program.

At an early stage, the students are exposed both to the

intricacies and significance of extension services.
