III. POLICY
Rizwoods Maritime Education Community Extension Services Office serves as the central
base for extension and outreach programs’ implementation. Hence, all activities to be conducted
in the community (outreach and extension) are being coordinated in the office. Implementation of
programs and projects are based on the needs assessments gathered by its specific implementers
or a felt need that seeks solutions and actions. In addition, the office shall support all community
engagements and participation of the students, faculty, and non- teaching personnel, offices, and
or departments and the administration. It also opens its door to agencies who wish to collaborate
with the institution with terms of partnership so long that the school can provide for society’s
sake. The Community Extension Services office shall function and operate under the direct
supervision of the Office of the General Manager and the Office of the Finance and shall work in
collaboration with the Research Office and all the different departments. Further, each department
must coordinate all its community endeavors to the Community Extension Services office for
information and proper guidance and must observe its protocol.
The extension is a public service work by an academic unit, faculty, staff, and students,
individually or as a group. This function of an institution is a contribution to achieving excellence
in social, and public service, especially the under-served sectors. The extension generates,
validates, and applies knowledge that can enrich instruction and research. Therefore, to come up
with a good program plan and become effective in the implementation and be guided in the
operation of the extension program, standards must be significantly observed where extensionists
must tail.
