In a significant step towards strengthening global educational ties, Bulacan State University (BSU) and First City Providential College (FCPC) formalised their collaboration through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing ceremony. The event took place at the Malolos Campus, on the 5th Floor of the E-Library, marking a new era of internationalisation via the IAESTE Programme.
As the National Committee of IAESTE (International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience), FCPC is committed to providing Filipino students with global exposure and opportunities to enhance their technical expertise. This partnership aims to bolster the international presence of both institutions, fostering a culture of collaboration across borders.
The ceremony was graced by esteemed delegates from both institutions. Representing FCPC were President Dr. Estrella O. Simon, Vice President for Academics and Research Dr. Echel Simon-Antero, and Marievic Delfino from the Centre for Local and International Linkages. On the side of BSU, attendees included Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Warlito Galita, Director for Internationalisation Dr. Eugene Mutuc, Head of International Faculty and Student Mobility Mr. Christian Mediran, and Head of Global Partnerships and Network Mr. Israel Saguinsin.
This partnership underscores a mutual commitment to global collaboration and academic excellence. By participating in the IAESTE Programme, both institutions aspire to create avenues for students to engage in cross-cultural exchanges, thereby equipping them with the skills required in an increasingly interconnected world.
