During the USTP’s presentation, Dr. Talandron-Felipe emphasized that, by following the QS Stars results and identifying room for improvement, the university reviewed policies that would allow the USTP to keep up with international standards.
The USTP’s focal persons also shared about the USTP Internationalization Framework, an initiative by the University System President Dr. Ambrosio B. Cultura II, and the Internationalization Strategic Planning headed by Dr. Maria Noelyn S. Dano of the university’s International Affairs Office, among all the other efforts of the USTP leadership and community.
