WVSU gains more IZN prospects thru ‘Making the ICONS 2023’
West Visayas State University has been consistent in developing new partners, as well as identifying priorities and activities as it continues its internationalization (IZN) journey.
On December 11-12, WVSU, represented by WVSU International and Local Linkages Office – ILLO director, Edel Subong-Csoka participated in the year-end workshop organized by the CHED International Affairs Service to strengthen partnerships and camaraderie among state universities and colleges and private higher educational institutions. It was held at Sheraton Hotel, Newport City, Pasay, Manila.
The two-day event featured different consulates/embassies , organizations and industries such as IBM, Dell, OrangeApps, Coursera, and ADEC for possible networking and projects relevant to the different institutions’ unique needs.
WVSU is eyeing a few industry partners for students’ skills and readiness, not just for training and a possible addition to the programs offered at the University Distance Education headed by Dr. Daisy Rosano.
ILLO Director @Edel Subong-Csoka emphasized that it is not the number of linkages that the colleges and campuses must be eager about for this can earn points for promotion “…but they must assess and ensure the quality of projects and feasibility of execution at the target timeline.”
Institutionalization of WVSU Internationalization is one of the priorities of the current administration led by University President Dr. Joselito F. Villaruz. -

The president of West Visayas State University (WVSU), Dr. Joselito Villaruz, recently graduated from the landmark Global Academic Leadership Program (GALP) for State Universities and Colleges Presidents and Local Universities and Colleges Presidents (CHED-AIM GALP for SUC and LUC).
The 10-month leadership program under the management of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) culminated with a graduation ceremony on Nov. 29, 2023 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the AIM campus, 123 Paseo de Roxas in Makati City.

Glenn Niño Sartillo of Romblon State University.
Dr. Villaruz is one of about 200 participants of the leadership program that provided the essential transformative leadership skills for SUC and LUC educational leaders and government partner officials.
The programs were designed to meet the needs of the 21st-century education environment with competencies and innovative tools to move towards SMART universities and to prepare the participants with leadership and management skills to think strategically, lead globally, and become locally responsive educational institutions, build collaborative relationships, and mobilize and manage resources.
Through a scholarship grant from CHED under the leadership of Chairman J. Prospero De Vera III, academic leaders are now equipped to co-create innovative solutions through enhanced decision-making processes and collaborative governance to propel the growth of state and local universities and colleges as integral parts of the Philippine educational system.
