Publications
Shamag, an Ibaloi term that means news, is the official publication of Benguet State University. It functions as the University's mouthpiece for its accomplishments and is likewise a communication tool among BSU constituents. It started as the MSAC Newsletter in the 1970s to meet one of the requirements of then, the Department of Education, for a college to be elevated into a university. Hence, Shamag came out as the University newsletter in 1996.

Donalyn M. Macaburas and Diostonee A. Balinte,
alumni of Agricultural Engineering at Benguet State University thought of this machine to help farmers thru the suggestion of Dr. Silver K. Aben and guided by their adviser, Engr. Editha Carlos.
