TWO students of the Centro Escolar University finished the prestigious University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific Collaborative Online International Learning Joint Program organized by the Institute for Innovative Global Education of Kansai University in Japan.

Medical Technology major Mary Anne Stead and Optometry student Jehmianne Co completed the program from August 2 to September 20, 2021 Co garnered a score of 94 while Stead got 74.

“It was humbling and exciting to be part of this meaningful experience along with other students from around the world to learn more about global citizenship and developing global human resources. I was blessed to meet several young but strong-willed learners like me in breakout rooms where we shared various insights regarding the topics on hand,” Co said.

The 7-week online program provided the participants the opportunity to conceptualize and execute a group project along with other learners from other countries.
