"I LOVE CARAGA".


Caraga Stickers captivates IITians during the Charter Day Booth fair last July 12, 2011. It was indeed a fantastic idea of CSN to come up with simple ways to promote the Caragan Spirit.

Everyone who came and visited the booth received the first sticker campaign in the campus which strengthens the drive for creation of regional groups to share their culture and tradition. "I LOVE CARAGA"  sticker signifies our love for our region which escalates to the love for our country.

In the next activities, we hope to share another set of advocacy stickers. CSN encourages other forming regional organizations which aims to promote culture, tradition and tourism to be part of this sticker advocacy campaign.

CSN on Charter Day '11

Caraga Student Network makes history as the only Student Organization and the first Regional Organization to join  the Charter Day Celebration last July 12, 2011.

In spite of the scarce resources that we have, we were able to find exactly what we needed to create a very unique booth which showcases the beauty and bounty of Caraga. As one of the goals and objectives of the organization, we aim to promote Caraga in MSU-IIT and share the culture with our fellow IITians. We were able to highlights the tourist spots from the four provinces which were Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur.



With the never ending support of the Caraganons, we were able to gather Certificate of Registrations from our members which will be used for the KASAMA recognition , Shirt Sizing was made available also through the booth and greater awareness of what CSN is all about. In the future, we hope to take CSN to greater heights as we push through with the DSA recognition.

For now, let us cheer up ourselves and get ready to take our grasp for the next lap in our Trailblazing!

CSN on Processing


Magandang Araw Caragans! =)  Thank you so much for your continuous support to CSN. We would like to give you the latest updates regarding our Organization Standing.


a. Our Constitution and By Laws:
According to Sir. Apao, the CBL will take effect one Month after the DSAs approval and currently, we are still on a very bloody process of revisions with the DSA's requirements. Please bear with us Officers in making this a success!

b. Shirt Printing:
We will give further announcements regarding the cost. For the payment, sizing and shirt sample, we will be conducting it on our Booth later this week since we will be joining the said Organization Fair.

c. KASAMA organization recognition:
The KASAMA recognition is different from the DSA and we were required to submit photocopies of Members CORs . Therefore, we request all of us to submit a photocopy of your COR and KASAMA insurance during the booth fair.



D.  Booth Fair
We already booked an area for the booth fair and were still finding ways to borrow a Gazebo/Tent for our display since the committee in charge shall not provide it for student organizations like us. Please coordinate with your Province Representatives for the Booth fair on the Charter Day.

E. KASAMA Booth Fair:
Please also be guided that the organized booth fair for Charter Day is a separate one from the KASAMA.

F. Online Copy
We would like to also request you to have an online registration by clicking the link below. This is just an online copy and will not be considered as official registration.
 For the meantime, to show our enthusiasm to you, we are going to launch online contests and we shall post the mechanics on how to participate. Prizes will be sponsored by your Officers. We formally announce that the officers have decided not to conduct major school activities unless we are already officially recognized for us to have security and legality. Thank you so much for your Support.  – CSN Officers

The network,the first region-based organization in the Institute, gathered both undergraduate students and professionals from the Caraga region to do their share in the productive growth and the realization of the Vision of the Institute. Strengthening linkages between the region and the institute is the network’s primary goal.
The network with the Caraganon Alumni of MSU-IIT aims to support and assist students from the region. It will have its first general assembly on June 13, 2:00p.m., at the CASS Lounge.
The CSN supported by the KASAMA student government, the Department of Student Affairs,and the Association of IIT Alumni Foundation, Inc. invites all MSU-IIT students from the Caraga region to join the network.
