In a significant boost to international academic and professional collaboration, Dr. Mary Francis Laquinon, Head of International Affairs at St. Paul University Dumaguete, along with Program Chairs Mrs. Mary Joan Fortugaleza and Mrs. Pamela UY of the Hospitality Management – Tourism Management (HM-TM) programs, recently visited Paulinian Interns based in Hong Kong.

The visit, part of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for student internships, underscores the university’s commitment to supporting its students abroad and strengthening its international partnerships. During the trip, the university officials engaged with the interns, providing guidance, feedback, and encouragement to ensure a fruitful and enriching internship experience.

Dr. Laquinon emphasized the importance of global exposure for students, highlighting how such opportunities contribute significantly to their professional growth and cultural understanding.“Our interns in Hong Kong are representing our university and demonstrating the quality of education and training we provide. We are proud of their dedication and are committed to supporting their journey,” she said.

Mrs. Fortugaleza and Mrs. Uy also shared insights on the importance of the internship program in shaping students' careers and fostering international cooperation among educational institutions.

The visit was also an opportunity to review the intern’s progress, address any challenges they might be facing, and ensure that the internship experience aligns with the university’s standards and expectations.

This initiative reflects St. Paul University Dumaguete’s ongoing efforts to expand its global footprint and provide its students with meaningful international exposure. The university plans to continue fostering such collaborations to prepare students for the increasingly interconnected world.

Students and faculty alike look forward to more such engagements that reinforce the university’s mission of academic excellence and global service.
