University of Luzon Bolsters Internationalization Efforts in CHED Region 1 Meeting

The University of Luzon is actively participating in crucial discussions aimed at advancing internationalization within higher education. Mr. Angel Samson Reyna Jr., Director for International Relations, and Ms. Ann Cua, International Relations Coordinator, are currently representing the University at a virtual meeting organized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Region 1.

The virtual gathering convenes International Relations Officers from various institutions to deliberate on key initiatives for 2025. Discussions are focused on a range of vital topics, including upcoming activities for internationalization, protocols for foreign travel requests, the establishment of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), and the organization of educational trips. A significant emphasis is also placed on strategies to strengthen institutional connections with international partners.

The University of Luzon anticipates that the outcomes of this meeting will significantly benefit its academic programs and provide new opportunities for Luzonians. Further updates on the internationalization initiatives discussed will be shared with the University community in due course.

This active engagement in regional discussions on internationalization directly contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By fostering international collaboration and educational exchanges, the University of Luzon supports SDG 4: Quality Education, by enhancing the global relevance and standards of its academic offerings. Furthermore, the establishment of MOUs and strengthened institutional connections contribute to SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, by building effective and inclusive partnerships to achieve sustainable development.
