Center for Research and Publication
Created under the Office of the President in June 1989, the office is mandated to take the lead in research endeavors of value to the academe and to the Boholano community. Through the Center, institutional researches by faculty members are provided with technical, material and financial support. As a lead office, it extends its services to the various academic departments, support-service offices, and student organizations such that research capabilities of members of the HNU family are sharpened and enhanced.
Not wanting to forego opportunities that allow for a more meaningful presence in the province, the Center has opened its services to outside institutions. Its valued clients include different organizations from government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.
