The College of Business Education and Governance (CBEG) wrapped up the year with a productive two-day Year-End Assessment and Initial Target Setting held last December 6–7, 2025 at Samoi Place, Marilog District, Davao City.

This event aimed to review the college performance from June to December 2025 and to carefully map out the strategic targets for January to June 2026.
The activity allowed everyone to look back at the year’s accomplishments, identify areas for growth, and ensure that the BSAB, BPA, and BSAIS programs remain aligned with institutional standards.
The college commitment remains the same: to deliver quality education and uphold the values of DSSC in every step we take.
