BS NURSING TO OPEN SOON
Sultan Taha Guro Sarip, the director of MSU-BC very early this year announced the opening of Bachelor of Science in Nursing at MSU-Buug College the soonest possible time. This was a confirmation of the announcement made by the University President during his first official visit to the college in September 2006. According to him, he was moved by the clamor of the high school students who wanted to take up BS Nursing but cannot enroll in other colleges and universities because of distance and the high cost of tuition fees. Furthermore, the President explained that the course shall be closely supervised by the college of Health and Sciences of MSU-Main Campus, Marawi City, although managed by the director of MSU-BC. President De Leon challenged the employees of MSU-BC to work cooperatively and to give their whole-hearted support to the college director for the realization of such project.

New History Unfolds MSU-Buug College

A new history unfolds for Mindanao State University. After more than twenty years of complacency, the school constituents were awakened by the coming of a messiah. The flicking fire of hope and the waning enthusiasm of the employees and students were rekindled as the new administrator, Sultan Taha G. Sarip, took-over the school management on that auspicious August morning of the year 2006. The turning - over program was a simple ceremony punctuated with short speeches, but it marked the turning point of the school’s history. Its significance was so heart-warming, so promising and so inspiring. The new administratorbrought the spirit that breathe forth revival of hope, courage, vigor and optimism among the constituents. There were some unexpressed skepticisms in the beginning, but these were overshadowed with brighter expectations. Although there was no spectacular display of welcome, no yellow ribbons on the trees, no reverberation of drums on his arrival, yet what was in the hearts of everyone was a welcome that could not be expressed in words, a silent welcome that spelled JOY, TRUST, COMMARADERIE, COOPERATION and HOPE.
