DLSU-D boosts acad and cultural ties
MOA with Korea’s Busan College inked

Faculty and student exchanges, co-sponsorship of international conferences, and exchange of educational materials and research are the salient points of the memorandum of agreement (MOA) entered into by Busan Women’s College (BWC) and DLSU-D.

The MOA, which was facilitated by the Institutional Linkages Office and the Language Learning Center (LLC), has already brought in two batches of Korean students in DLSU-D to undergo intensive training in language proficiency. The University, on the other hand, had Vice Chancellor for Mission, External Affairs, and Development Myrna Ramos visiting the BWC last June 30-July 3 to meet with its key administrators and see the improvement projects it has been undertaking.

When asked about the visit, Dr. Ramos said that DLSU-D can definitely learn from BWC’s programs for productive women professional and women working toward intellectual maturity and awareness. She also stressed that [our own] faculty and students could benefit from BWC’s broad spectrum of academic subject, fully equipped laboratories, and renowned faculty members.

Also known as Pusan Women’s College, BWC was established in 1954 as a member of Hye Hwa Foundation and is now recognized as one of the nation’s eldest junior colleges for women education. To sustain its position as the leading institution in women education, it has been undergoing expansion of the campus, construction of new classroom buildings, and increase of academic programs offered.

Currently, there are 27 BWC students at DLSU-D undergoing a series of language classes in English. Fifteen language specialists from the Languages and Literature Department are handling the group.
