West Visayas State University (WVSU) has officially welcomed a delegation of 20 students from Jeju National University (JNU), South Korea, for a month-long academic and cultural immersion program. The students will immerse themselves in various academic activities under the College of Information and Communications Technology (CICT) and engage in English language studies through the WVSU Center for Foreign Languages, from January 17 to February 17, 2025.

 

The delegation, led by Prof. Yung-Cheol Byun, Director of the Center for High Intelligence Service at Jeju National University, was warmly received by Dr. Ma. Beth Concepcion, Dean of the College of ICT. This program marks another milestone in WVSU’s ongoing internationalization efforts, aimed at fostering cross-cultural learning and global partnerships.

 

During their stay, the South Korean students will be immersed in academic courses offered by CICT, focusing on information technology and communications. In addition to the academic curriculum, they will also participate in English language training at the WVSU Center for Foreign Languages, under the guidance of professors from the Department of English and Foreign Languages.

 

Beyond the classroom, the students will engage in a variety of cultural activities designed to expose them to Filipino traditions, customs, and lifestyles. These activities, facilitated by the International and Local Linkages Office (ILLO) and WVSU-Business Incubator Nurturing Homegrown Innovations (BINHI), will allow both South Korean and WVSU students to connect, share, and learn from one another.

 

This program underscores WVSU’s dedication to fostering international collaborations and providing its students with opportunities for global exposure, academic exchange, and cultural dialogue. It also strengthens ties between WVSU and Jeju National University, furthering the institutions’ shared mission of creating a more interconnected world through education.
