THE UNIVERSITY of Cagayan Valley partnered with the Our Lady of Fatima University and the University of the Philippines-Los Baños for academic collaboration.

Dr. Esther Susan N. Perez-Mari met separately with OLFU President Caroline Marian S. Enriquez and UPLB Chancellor Jose V. Camacho Jr. in January for the signing of the agreements.

The university said that the new partnerships aim to forge stronger institutional linkages between higher educational institutions.

UCV will collaborate with UPLB through student and faculty exchanges and collaborative research.

Meanwhile, its partnership with OLFU will pave the way for collaborative training for the Institutional Review Board.

“The MOU which established a formal linkage between the two respected institutions’ endeavors for collaborative programs, projects, and activities will benefit both students and employees,” UCV said in a statement.
