This landmark agreement aims to foster academic excellence, mutual growth, and international cooperation between the two institutions.

He extended his gratitude to Dr. Jonathan Carreon and Dean Ester Vedaña for their instrumental roles in facilitating this partnership.

The MOU is expected to pave the way for various collaborative initiatives, including student and faculty exchange programs, joint research projects, and cultural exchange activities.
