An insightful seminar on Internationalization for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) through Student Mobility and its game-changing impact on global education was held on Tuesday, June 25, at the Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) Function Hall of the University of the Visayas (UV)-Main Campus along Colon Street in Cebu City.
The purposeful event was graced by UV President Dr. Conrado E. Iñigo Jr., Vice President for Finance and Quality Management System (QMS) Dr. Rosemarie Cruz-Español, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Anna Lou C. Cabuenas, and Dr. Amado L. Magsino, the guest speaker.
Magsino, the Vice President for Academic Affairs of the International Peace Leadership College, imparted on the attendees that included the college deans, program coordinators, and some student leaders how HEIs can use internationalization to create a more connected and inclusive academic environment.
He also shared some practical tips and strategies to boost student mobility, giving students priceless cross-cultural experiences and global perspectives.
One of the seminar's highlights was the introduction of the Passage to ASEAN (P2A), a network of colleges and universities across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region dedicated to promoting student mobility among member schools.
Established in 2012, P2A aims to build a platform that supports academic exchange, cultural immersion, and collaborative learning among students from various backgrounds.
To further deepen everyone's understanding, Dr. Magsino talked about the different initiatives and programs under P2A that have made international exchanges possible, helping students appreciate ASEAN cultures and strengthening regional unity.
