September 8, 2025

The International Affairs Office (IAO), through its Mobility and Intercultural Exchange Unit, hosted its annual Study Abroad Fair as part of “Sinag ng Kalinangan, Agapay at Dalubhasaan” (SIKAD) 2025, held on July 8–9, 2025.

The two-day event highlighted the experiences of 15 alumni from the Colleges of Agriculture, Business and Accountancy, Education, Engineering, Home Science and Industry, and Arts and Social Sciences who have participated in student exchange and international mobility programs.

Booths were set up at the Hannah W. Tibbs Studio, where the alumni showcased information sheets, products, and merchandise from their host universities and organizations. A photo gallery also captured their personal journeys abroad, giving current students a glimpse into life in another academic and cultural environment.

To further immerse attendees in global perspectives, the alumni facilitated games and interactive activities inspired by the cultures they encountered, encouraging students to explore study abroad opportunities and intercultural learning.

As part of the experience, students also had a guided tour of the International Affairs Office, where they learned about the office's key programs, services, and initiatives related to global engagement.
