Our Core Values

These principles guide everything we do as a Society

Learning by Building

We believe the best way to learn is by doing. DevSoc emphasizes hands-on projects that help members develop practical, real-world skills beyond theory.

Collaboration & Community

We value a supportive and inclusive community where members collaborate, share knowledge, and grow together through teamwork and mutual respect.

Integrity & Accountability

We value honesty, transparency, and responsibility. Members are expected to contribute meaningfully, respect commitments, and uphold the standards of the society.

Innovation & Problem-Solving

We foster creative thinking and innovative approaches to solving real-world problems through technology.

Leadership Through Service

We believe leadership is about contribution, not titles. DevSoc develops leaders who support others, take initiative, and help the community thrive.

Excellence & Growth

We encourage continuous improvement, curiosity, and high standards in both technical skills and personal development.

Our History

The first set of committee members was formed, and DevSoc’s internal structure and leadership were established.

Affiliation & Growth

Today, DevSoc is currently affiliated with Miva Open University and continues to grow. We actively welcome partnerships with universities and industry sponsors who share our commitment to developing practical, industry-ready talent and supporting the next generation of developers.
