In a forward-looking initiative, the Graduate School of Argao engaged in a productive dialogue with the Center for Premier International Language Studies (CPILS) to explore collaborative opportunities aimed at enriching the academic landscape of both institutions. This initiative aligns seamlessly with the newly-proposed program recently visited by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) relevant to its COPC application โ the Master of Arts in English Language (MAEL).
Held at the CPILS Academic Directorโs office, the meeting was marked by warm hospitality and shared enthusiasm for future academic partnerships. Professor Ariel Ramos, Dean of the Graduate School, was welcomed with open arms and a shared excitement for collaborative possibilities.
During the dialogue, both parties presented their institutional strengths and aspirations. The Graduate School of Argao underscored its dedication to academic excellence through the integration of diverse, flexible learning methodologies across various modalities. Meanwhile, CPILS emphasized its specialized expertise in immersive language instruction and intercultural learning experiences.
The synergy between the two institutions ignited vibrant discussions on potential joint initiatives that could provide meaningful benefits for their students. From language enhancement programs to shared academic resources, the possibilities are wide-ranging and impactful.
Director See of CPILS expressed her excitement, stating, โThis proposed partnership is not just an opportunity but a commitment to our studentsโ futures.โ
In the coming weeks, both institutions will collaborate to develop a detailed framework outlining timelines, specific activities, and strategies for resource sharing to ensure the sustainability and success of the partnership.
This collaboration stands as a testament to the shared vision of the Graduate School of Argao and CPILS in fostering a dynamic, inclusive, and globally responsive academic environment. | Ariel Ramos | ICPAO ECR
