The theme’s first part highlights the 30-year journey of Davao del Norte State College since its transformation in 1995 from a secondary and post-secondary school into a higher education institution. These three decades represent a remarkable period of growth, resilience, and progress, achieved despite the challenges of an ever-evolving world and educational landscape.

The term “thriving” embodies DNSC’s vitality and its unwavering commitment to excellence and continuous improvement. It reflects a community where individuals not only live well but also support one another and collectively experience growth and development. This thriving spirit defines DNSC’s culture and its aspiration to uplift and empower all those it serves.

“Inspiring change” means igniting passion and purpose to drive positive action. In a state college, “creating futures” highlights the institution’s role in empowering individuals and communities, generating and shaping opportunities, and building a brighter tomorrow through education, research, extension, and public service. It focuses on equipping students to lead, adapt, and thrive while contributing meaningfully to society.

Celebration Colors

The pearl and green colors hold special significance for the 30th Charter Anniversary of Davao del Norte State College. The pearl represents the 30th anniversary, as this milestone is traditionally associated with a “pearl jubilee”. It symbolizes wisdom and resilience.

Green, on the other hand, represents growth, vitality, and sustainability—key elements of DNSC’s mission to nurture the youth and uplift communities. It also reflects the institution’s strong connection to nature, particularly its focus on agricultural, environmental, and fisheries-related education and research. Darker shades of the primary colors in the palette have been incorporated to ensure their adaptability across various materials.
