Love of the poor is a precious part of the heritage left by Blessed Marcellin Champagnat, the founder of the Marist Congregation. In the face of poverty, of the needs of the poor, he would be there with his friendship and his assistance, with his Brothers, with consolation and material help.

It is in this rational that NDMU named its Extension Department, "Champagnat Community College" which is basically concentrated to helping the impoverished sector of the society through its extension sevice programs.

The increasing awareness of people toward education and social crises puts NDMU in the basic prerogative to reach out and make its resource readily available to other communities in order to give a flexible continuing education that does not provide only formal education to NDMU students but also non-formal education that reaches down to the marginalized poor and the less privileged.

The Champagnat Community College (CCC) or named as NDMU's triple C is the community extension arm of the university.

It shares with the vision of the university in building a progressive and healthy community.

It is continuously existing for sevice to others through its channels of academic, non-academic and special programs.

CCC is established to implement projects that promote the welfare of the marginalized people and develop themselves by developing their communities.

The CCC focuses on the hands-on role in the design, implementation, and evaluation of community development activities.
