No less than CARD MRI founder and Dean of CMDI Tagum’s Department of Business and Management, Dr. Jaime Aristotle B. Alip graced the occasion and met with the faculty members in the afternoon. He highlighted his support to the capacity building of teachers for them to become more competent in their respective fields of teaching as well as the importance of their role as vehicles to eradicate poverty through education.
