VISION

In line with, and in addition to, the national educational objectives, the Divine Word College of Laoag seeks to educate the individual, who must be spiritually integrated, cultured and socially oriented, professionally competent and psychologically balanced. Given this wide range of institutional objectives, the College Guidance Center partakes in the formation of students to become a fully matured person.

GENERAL OBJECTIVES

In view of the aims and objectives of the college, the Guidance Center has been set up to render specific services to college students. Through these services, and with the help of the community, a person is helped to acquire a growing understanding of his potentials and limitations, and of his personal and social needs. This understanding will lead to the formation of proper attitudes, as well as to the development of emotional and social maturity.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

  • To assist students in meeting their need to understand themselves in relation to the world in which they live.
  • To provide academic heads and faculty members data on matters involving student adjustment to academic work, and to other aspects of students’ life.
  • To collect occupations and vocational information needed by the student in making career decisions.
