A PROFESSOR of the University of Santo Tomas was appointed as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas (the Angelicum) in Rome, Italy.

Clarita Carillo will occupy the post for three years.

Carillo, UST’s longest-serving vice rector for Academic Affairs, did consultancy work for Angelicum since 2019.

She was selected by Master of the Order, Very Rev. Fr. Gerard Francisco Timoner III.

Carillo was a Lead Assessor for ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance.

She was also a former accreditor of the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation that allowed UST to have its programs locally and internationally certified.

“Under her leadership as VRAA, UST secured accreditation statuses from PACUCOA, which consistently recognized UST for having the most number of accredited programs,” the university said.

“UST likewise became an Associate Member of AUNQA in 2016, and in 2019, during her incumbency as the Assistant to the Rector for Planning and Quality Management, UST secured the Institutional Certification from AUN-QA,” it added.

Carillo, a faculty member of the Department of Secondary Education of the College of Education, is also a member of the Education cluster of the UST Graduate School.
