The International Relations Officers from the Commission on Higher Education-International Affairs Service (CHED-IAS) visited Bukidnon State University (BukSU) to learn about the university’s initiatives in promoting, preserving, and protecting the Indigenous Peoples’ communities of the province, on June 27, 2024.

Ms. Loreta Sol L. Dinlayan, Director of BukSU’s Bukidnon Studies Center (BSC), presented the center’s policies, functions, and services to the CHED-IAS delegation.

Forging these partnerships will help shape the educational landscape of our respective institutions,” said Dr. Joy M. Mirasol, President of BukSU.
