The donation, made possible by College of Law (COL) Dean Atty. Santiago T. Gabionza Jr., a friend of STI President Jacob, was received by Associate Dean Atty. Gregorio M. Sarmiento Jr., who acknowledged its significant contribution to the educational resources of COL.
The enhanced internet connectivity, with average download speeds of 150 to 350 Mbps and the potential to reach 650 to 900 Mbps, alongside upload speeds of 20 to 60 Mbps, will facilitate easy access to learning materials, virtual learning options, and improved communication and collaboration. It will also create opportunities for professional development and support online classes.
Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Joseph G. Zafe emphasized the importance of the donation, noting that it will aid during hybrid classes allowed by the Legal Education Board (LEB) during this year's adjustment period.
"This will greatly help during hybrid classes at COL. Faculty may opt for online classes, but the law students will meet in person in the classroom, with professors required to report in person at least thrice a semester," he explained.
Pinning on high hopes and enthusiasm for the new internet capabilities, incoming law students said it will help them in their academic engagement and performance.
"The high-speed and low-latency attributes of Starlink are expected to facilitate uninterrupted access to digital educational resources, enhance the quality of synchronous online interactions, and support efficient data retrieval and transmissionโฆ optimizing both the scope and effectiveness of my academic engagement and performance," Marck John Eustaquio shared.
"As a pioneer of the College of Law and one of its beneficiaries, it will greatly assist my studies by enabling easier access to data and validation of information,โ added Roy Caballero.
CatSU President Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza has been actively working to secure essential resources for COL to ensure the best quality education for its pioneer batch of 60 law students. Notably, he secured another set of Supreme Court Reports Annotated (SCRA) volumes three days ago from the University of the Philippines (UP) College of Law.
Earlier in January, Dr. Azanza also secured donations of SCRA volumes and various law books from generous CatSU alum CPA Lawyer Jose Villanueva Cabrera and his wife, Atty. Lehua Lao-Cabrera.
