Over 30 personnel from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng San Pablo (PLSP) came to Benguet State University (BSU) on May 10, 2024 to benchmark the best practices of the College of Nursing (CN) and the Gender and Development (GAD) Office.

The visitors aimed to help fulfill the PLSP’s commitment to making its university a gender-responsive and inclusive institution by learning from the BSU best practices in nursing field and GAD programs and activities in the operations of its four-fold functions: instruction, research, extension, and production.

BSU President Felipe Salaing Comila welcomed the visitors at the RDC Hall, where he shared his advocacies as the leader of the University and expressed words of encouragement to the visitors, urging them to become entrepreneurs someday.

PLSP President Sigfredo C. Adajar thanked President Comila for allowing them to visit the University. He assured that they would consider insights gained during the visit to improve their programs and services and hoped the PLSP could also achieve a higher university level.

During their discussion, VP for Administration and Finance Allan C. Sacpa, CN Dean Vicente Panagan Jr., GAD OIC Odelon C. Dulay, and Feljorie D. Afidchao of the GAD Office shared the GAD programs and initiatives and the University’s best practices on nursing, licensure examinations, curriculum, university linkages, and the administration and finance operations. Further inquiries from the guests were accommodated.

In the afternoon, the visitors toured the CN facilities, Open University, Marketing Center, and the Strawberry farm.//EBawayan
