UBSIHTM Strengthens Partnerships For Cross-Border Global Programs

Updated: Sep 4, 2023



As the industry gradually reopens after more than two years of lockdown and limited mobility, so is the education sector. With the reopening of cross-border programs, the University of Baguio opens discussions with potential partners and renews partnerships with existing industry partners to strengthen academic mobility and international collaboration.


Catching Up with Camosun Lead. The University of Baguio and Camosun College had a partnership meeting last October 26, 2022, at the UB Centennial Hall with the meeting titled “Catching Up with Camosun Lead”. During the partnership meeting, Ms. Jennifer Montero presented the rationale and overview of Camosun programs, followed by a response from Mr. Christiaan Bernard, Director for Camosun International. The partnership aims to strengthen the global learning engagement of the University of Baguio through student mobility, post-graduate programs, and other academic collaboration endeavors. Present during the partnership and networking event were UB President, Engr. Javier Herminio Bautista, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Janice Kaylyn K. Lonogan, Linkages Director, Ms. Melanie Rulla-Saro, school deans, and office directors.


Before the partnership meeting, Camosun College signified open discussions when Ms. Jennifer Montero, the Regional Manager for Camosun International visited the University to discuss possible cross-border education programs for the students and alumni of the School of International Hospitality and Tourism Management (SIHTM) during a meeting with Dean Jenelyn Magpatoc last May 18, 2022.


Camosun College is a community college located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Established in 1971, with two campuses - Lansdowne and Interurban Road, it is the largest public college in British Columbia. Camosun College offers over 160 innovative programs to help meet the needs of students and communities in Victoria and beyond.


Partnership renewal with ZIP Travel Philippines. More opportunities await as the University of Baguio renews its partnership with ZIP Travel Philippines during the ceremonial Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing and business meeting last September 23, 2022. Present at the event were the CEO, Mr. Aaron Black, Program Director, Ms. MJ De Guzman, University of Baguio Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Janice Kaylyn Lonogan, Director of Linkages Office, Melanie Rulla Saro, and different school deans. The MOA signing is part of the four-day academic mobility campaign organized by the Linkages Office and was participated by over a thousand students including students from the School of IHTM.


ZIP Travel has been a partner of UB for a decade now in helping students explore more possibilities, experience different cultures, and develop excellence in their craft through internships abroad.


It is with much anticipation that these partnerships will pave the way to more opportunities for global exposure for UBSIHTM students and alumni.
