A delegation from Bicol University Jesse M. Robredo Institute of Governance and Development (BUJMRIGD) led by Director Noemi L. Ibo, visited Benguet State University (BSU). The visit, held on October 23, 2025, aimed to expose BUJMRIGD students to the practices in higher education relevant to the field of public administration.

The group was welcomed by BSU-College of Public Administration and Governance (CPAG) Dean Gretchen Gaye C. Ablaza who presented the college academic offerings and activities. Further insights were provided by CPAG-Student Government Governor Raymundo II E. Diwas. He also presented the student activities and programs.

The activity ended with a sharing of practices and activities between the two institutions. BSU accommodates benchmarking activities and field trips from schools, Local Government Units, National Line Agencies, and Non-Government Organizations with the intent to promote collaboration in various areas that may lead to multi-stakeholder partnerships in support of #SDG17.//BTayaban
