The Philippine-American Educational Foundation (Fulbright Commission in the Philippines) is organizing this workshop in collaboration with the US Department of State’s USA Study Abroad and the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines.

The aim of this workshop is to improve the capacity of Philippine Higher Education Institutions in developing two-way academic exchanges and study abroad planning while advancing institutional long-term partnerships with US universities and colleges. Also, to provide advanced knowledge and skills on internationalization, building connections and partnerships with the US institutions for higher education.

This demonstrates WVSU ILLO’s dedication to connecting institutions, forging bilateral academic alliances and cooperation, and strengthening global linkages.
