Central Luzon State University (CLSU) continues to strengthen its internationalization efforts with a landmark visit by officials from Sunchon National University (SCNU), Korea, from January 12 to 14, 2025. This visit marks a pivotal milestone in the partnership between CLSU and SCNU, solidified through a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). A key initiative of this collaboration is the potential establishment of the Sejong Institute at CLSU, envisioned as a hub for Korean language education for students and employees. Once realized, this initiative will position CLSU among the select institutions in the Philippines hosting Sejong Institutes, joining the ranks of those in Iloilo, Cebu, and Balanga City. The SCNU delegation, headed by Prof. Ki Chang Nam, Vice President for Academic Affairs, visited CLSU to explore its facilities, assess potential sites for the Sejong Institute, and engage in discussions to further solidify plans for the collaboration. Accompanying him were Prof. Kang Seok Seo from the Department of Animal Resources Science, Prof. Ji-Hyun Kim from the Department of International Korean Language Education, and Dr. Lovelia Mamuad, an alumnus of CLSU who is now based in Korea. This initiative underscores CLSU’s commitment to fostering international academic partnerships and promoting cultural exchange through innovative language education programs.
