The landscape of global education is being reshaped by the proactive efforts of Mapúa University, Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL), and Malayan Colleges Mindanao (MCM) through their faculty mobility programs. These initiatives are pivotal in fostering international academic collaborations and exchanges, enriching the educational experiences of students and faculty alike. 

Mapúa MCM’s Engagement with Northcap University, India 

Dr. Ann Gloghienette Perez from Mapúa MCM’s first outbound faculty mobility program made a significant impact at Northcap University. Her contributions in Sustainable Finance not only enriched the academic discourse but also emphasized the importance of sustainable financial practices globally​​​​​​​​​​. 

MCL’s Collaboration with Universitas Esa Unggul, Indonesia 

Dr. Jeremy Paul Gecolea’s visit to Universitas Esa Unggul in Jakarta marked a new chapter for Mapúa MCL. His involvement in co-lecturing and collaborative research initiatives illustrated the power of international academic partnerships in enhancing teaching and learning experiences. This exchange was a leap forward in Mapúa MCL’s journey towards global educational integration​​​​​​​​​​. 

Mapúa University’s Exchange with AlmaU, Kazakhstan 

In another significant development, Mapúa University enhanced its global academic network through an exchange with Almaty Management University (AlmaU) in Kazakhstan. This program facilitated mutual learning and shared experiences, fostering an environment where diverse ideas and teaching methodologies could flourish. The interaction between Mapúa and AlmaU faculty and students underscored the value of diverse cultural and academic perspectives in today’s interconnected world​​​​​​. 

These faculty mobility programs are more than academic exchanges; they are bridges connecting different cultures and educational systems. They enable faculty members to explore new teaching methods and perspectives, enriching their professional development and enhancing the learning experiences of their students. Furthermore, these initiatives are opening doors for future research collaborations and joint educational projects, strengthening the bonds between institutions across different countries. 

Mapúa University, MCL, and MCM’s commitment to these mobility programs exemplifies their dedication to shaping a globally connected academic community. By participating in these initiatives, they are not only contributing to the evolution of higher education in the Philippines but also making a significant impact on the global educational landscape.
