The Opening Program, which was organized by the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM), started with a flag raising ceremony, followed by the induction ceremony of the new deans appointed. The new deans took their public oath and displayed their full commitment to their new roles.

Chancellor Alizedney M. Ditucalan inspired the crowd with his message, saying that the celebration of the 57th Charter Anniversary is built on the hard work of those who came before and the leaders who helped in the thriving of MSU-IIT as an institution. “And so this week, let us honor our past, celebrate our present, and look forward to a future filled with promise,” the Chancellor said, declaring the commencement of the celebration with the banging of the gong. 

The awardees of the best dressed for ASEAN attires every first Monday of the month, starting in February, were also awarded and recognized on stage. Following that, the crowd participated in a line dance to be energized.
