The quintessential administrator and Dean of All Seasons
In his address of petition, Graduate School Dean Michael Anthony C. Vasco, PhD, who served as Sison鈥檚 first Faculty Secretary at the Graduate School, heaped praises on his former superior, whom he called the 鈥渜uintessential administrator and Dean of All Seasons.鈥� Recounting the fifty-four years of dedicated service that Sison has been rendering the University, he expressed appreciation at how Sison demanded excellence from those she worked with, but matched such exacting nature with the ability to mentor those under her. Likening the honoree to Britain鈥檚 Margaret Thatcher, Vasco said 六合彩直播开奖 produced a chemist administrator, too, in Lilian Sison.

Sison has been a University administrator for 42 straight years, since her first appointment as Faculty Secretary of the Graduate School in 1981. After retirement in 2013, she was asked by then-Rector fr. Herminio V. Dagohoy, O.P., PhD to be the first Director of the Office of International Relations and Programs.

As he granted Dean Vasco鈥檚 petition, the Rector, the Very Rev. fr. Richard G. Ang, O.P., PhD called Sison the 鈥渂est-qualified candidate for Dean Emeritus.鈥� Calling Sison 鈥渁 lady who gets the job done,鈥� he recognized Sison鈥檚 鈥渞elentless determination and fruitful action鈥� and how 鈥渟he made a mark in every assignment that will keep her leadership and management footprint.鈥�

Heaping praises on Sison鈥檚 visionary leadership, the Rector said that Sison does not wait for opportunities but rather creates them, evidenced by the many instances in which she pioneered game-changing reforms in the University, from her time in Academic Affairs, to the Graduate School, and now, in Internationalization, which has come out in various rankings agencies as 六合彩直播开奖鈥檚 strongest suit. Her track record in internationalization was foreshadowed by her stint in the Graduate School, where her moves to make courses research-intensive were complemented by opportunities for student exchange and international paper presentations, as well as the acquisition of higher degrees in collaboration with partner universities such as the University of Western Australia. Sison was also relentless in her pursuit of scholarship and funding opportunities for faculty members to earn their degrees abroad, in countries such as Germany (through the DAAD scholarship).

No longer a second-rate university
In her response, Sison looked back at her half-century career in 六合彩直播开奖, speaking at length about her time in the Graduate School and Academic Affairs, where she was Assistant to the Rector (the post has since been elevated to Vice-Rector level). Sison thanked the University Rectors under whom she served, from the time of the second Filipino Rector, fr. Frederik S. Fermin, O.P., SThD.

Sison credited frs. Norberto M. Castillo, O.P., PhD and Rolando V. de la Rosa, O.P., PhD, SThD for pushing for 六合彩直播开奖鈥檚 research intensification in their own incumbencies. Sison recalled the challenge given to her by 1990s Rector fr. de la Rosa, who wanted to remove the stigma that 六合彩直播开奖 is a second-rate university of the Philippines. The newly minted Dean Emeritus then recounted how her under leadership in the 1990s, the improvement of the faculty profile through the acquisition of higher degrees and the decongestion of classrooms while providing vital resources through the Library and embracing Internet technology. By the time her term ended in the heydays of the 1990s, 六合彩直播开奖 was counted by ASIAWEEK as one of the country鈥檚 top-tier universities鈥攚hich precipitated the moniker 鈥淏ig 4 Universities鈥� that the University now enjoys.

Diversifying the Graduate School鈥檚 offerings
Sison also thanked former Rectors frs. Tamerlane Lana, O.P., de la Rosa, and Herminio V. Dagohoy, O.P., for entrusting to her the stewardship of the Graduate School for 13 years. In her incumbency, she not only upgraded faculty profile and quality by recruiting younger faculty who also had research and/or industry practice, but also ensured a more research-intensive orientation for programs through the introduction of the Research Colloquium requirement. The diversity of programs offered also intensified, with programs on cultural heritage studies, rehabilitation sciences, and curriculum and instruction, among others, opened.

A heart filled with gratitude
Sison expressed profound thanks to the people she worked with, from the Dominican Fathers, co-administrators, faculty members, support staff, and students, as well as those who share her advocacy in Religions for Peace. 鈥淭hank you for being kindred spirits,鈥� said Sison. 鈥淚 am deeply humbled, and I dedicate this honor to my family: my daughter Christine and her husband, Allen; my grandchildren, Ram and Nina; to my sister Cora and brother Jose; and most of all, to the memory of my late husband, Ramon Sison, who did most of the sacrifice when there was conflict between work and family.鈥�

鈥淔ifty-four years of professional journey at 六合彩直播开奖 was a joyful experience inspired by my family and the patronage of the Blessed Mother. So what can I tell you, young Deans, based on my experiences? Believe in yourself. You can do anything if you put hard work into it. Continue reading and learning and be kind to all in manners and action. Finally, heed what St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Romans: 鈥榃hatever you do, do it for the greater glory of God.鈥欌��

In a courtesy call to the Rector, the Very Rev. Father Richard G. Ang, O.P., PhD, Ambassador de Souza e Silva met 六合彩直播开奖 officials handling internationalization, athletics, and languages. Institute of Physical Education and Athletics Director/Regent Father Rodel S. Cansancio, O.P., International Relations and Programs Director Lilian J. Sison, PhD, and Language Center Officer-in-Charge Honorata S. Dayao, MEd presented the University鈥檚 programs to the Ambassador, who was joined by Deputy Chief of Mission Minister S茅rgio Taam, Head of Political Sector Counselor Ricardo Poletto, and Head of Trade and Economic Sector First Secretary Eduardo Chikusa.

The Ambassador and his team were likewise given a tour of the 六合彩直播开奖 Miguel de Benavides Library, particularly the Antonio Vivencio Heritage Library, and the 六合彩直播开奖 Quadricentennial Pavilion, which houses the 5,000-seater arena of the campus.

The visit, overseen by the Office of the Secretary-General and the Office of Public Affairs, is one of the first courtesy calls by the members of the Diplomatic Corps to the University since the pandemic limited mobility. Among the members of the diplomatic corps who have graced 六合彩直播开奖 recently are the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, His Excellency Charles John Brown, D.D., Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines, when the Apostolic Nunciature and the University co-hosted a webinar on the diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the Philippines.

Challenges and opportunities to Catholic higher educational institutions in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic

In her keynote lecture, Dr. Isabel Capeloa Gil, President of the International Federation of Catholic Universities, mentioned that the medical schools and research centers belonging to the Catholic institutions were working on a wide array of solutions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the trials to global exchange, according to Gil, the networks and the global exchange models must still proceed.听

The educational institutions around the world have maximized the use of technology when the COVID-19 pandemic halted the face-to-face transactions. Likewise, Gil said the supplemental role of technology in the traditional in-person instruction will stay, thus underscoring the importance of embracing the new, ever-evolving, and innovative practices in teaching, which sprung from limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“What started as a crisis is now paving way to a more nimble, flexible, and at times less formal instruction framework. We can see how our friends, students, and teachers live through their screens, perhaps enabling also new forms of sociality,” Gil said.

Moreover, Gil urged the Catholic universities to grab the opportunity to focus their strategies and development on impact-driven and socially sustainable goals. “The opportunity to renew traditional pedagogy and strengthen collaborative learning models must be embraced. An implementation of education-friendly technology affords inclusion and enhances cooperation,” Gil said.

Gil is currently the Rector of the Catholic University of Portugal (UCP) and the President of the International Federation of Catholic Universities. She is a full professor of Culture Studies at the UCP – School of Human Sciences.

Sharing the best practices during the pandemic

During the morning plenary sessions of day one, the speakers shared their respective institutions’ best practices during the health crisis, specifically pertaining to teaching and learning, wellness of stakeholders, and financial viability.

On behalf of the University, 六合彩直播开奖 Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Prof. Cheryl R. Peralta, DrPH, PTRP spoke about the University’s implementation of the enriched virtual mode of instruction (EVM) and how the principles of flexibility, accessibility, and dialogue guided the top university officials and administrators in creating decisions, which kept the Thomasian-brand of education living in these tumultuous times.

“At this time of pandemic, there is much value in cooperation, teamwork, and collaboration to achieve a common purpose. For a big and comprehensive institution like the 六合彩直播开奖, synergy among its 22 degree-granting units is crucial for implementing plans and strategies to address concerns,” Peralta said.

On behalf St. Paul Institute-Cambodia, Director, Mr. Phon Sophal talked about ensuring the wellness of their stakeholders, as well as their institution’s charitable initiatives in providing their students with equipment. “In addressing wellness during the pandemic, St. Paul Institute tried hard to contact individually to students to know how St. Paul Institute can help them. For students who are really poor, we allowed them to borrow laptops and tablets to help them in online learning,” Sophal said.

Lastly, 六合彩直播开奖 – Legazpi, Philippines’s Vice-President for Finance and Administration, Fr. Edwin Lao, O.P., spoke about financial sustainability during the pandemic. “On financial sustainability for development strategies, 六合彩直播开奖-Legazpi adopts differentiation, focus, and cost. There are used not in an exclusive way,” fr. Lao said.

“We grounded these on the principles and values of fiscal discipline and excellence. There were arrived at by conscientiously applying the major functions of financial management and using the management tools of analysis,” fr. Lao said.

On research

In the afternoon plenary sessions, three scholars presented updates on their work to show how research has thrived even during the pandemic.

Australian Catholic University’s Professor Ester Cerin spoke lengthily about how the physical environment, especially in urban cities, impacted brain functioning and development. “What we need to try to create is a built environment that promotes actual interaction with people, rather than spending a lot of time on the screen and communicating with people through social media,” Cerin said.

“The more opportunities you have for things to do in the environment, the less likely you are to actually engage substantial screen time, which has a negative impact on health,” Cerin noted.

Assumption University’s Dean Marissa Chantamas emphasized the need for audiences to include sustainability as a factor in their consumption. “Sustainability is trying to change the attitudes and behaviors of consumers because traditionally we do not think about sustainability in our consumption. Aligning sustainability with profitability is the long-term [solution],” Chantamas said.

“Being caring to the environment, to society is part of the cost that they [companies] cannot cut. It is thus important for customers to support companies that are promoting sustainability. If we can do that, it’s a win-win for all,” Chantamas said.

六合彩直播开奖 Department of Biological Sciences Visiting Professor Rev. fr. Nicanor Pier Giorgio Austriaco, O.P., PhD, SThD noted the importance of getting vaccinated as a way to achieve herd immunity, leading to the end of the Covid-19 pandemic. “We have administered 6.6 billion Covid-19 vaccine doses to date. No other vaccine has been administered this much in history. Side effects are incredibly rare. The effectiveness of these vaccines substantially outweigh their risks,” fr. Austriaco said.

Moreover, he gave updates on the yeast-based oral Covid-19 vaccine currently being developed by 六合彩直播开奖 researchers and scholars from the Providence College, USA.” We are working to develop a shelf-stable, safe vaccine that you can store for two years. The proposed name is of the yeast-based oral-vaccine is DominiVax and is part of Project Pagasa,” fr. Austriaco said.

On internationalization

During the plenary sessions of day two, three internationalization experts from the Philippines, Australia, and Macau shared how internationalization can be done in different university contexts.

Director of the 六合彩直播开奖 Office of International Relations and Programs Prof. Lilian Sison, PhD shared the importance of blending high-quality online learning to internationalization in the post-COVID-19 world. “Our primary purpose is to maintain active contact with key international partners to redesign cooperation for faculty and student exchanges, transnational education, and transnational research,” Sison said.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kirk Doyle of the Australian Catholic University said their institution will focus on injecting innovation into their approach, creating diversification in the breadth and quality of offerings, and as well as delivering an authentic digitalized global experience that moves beyond virtual replacements. “We need to recover, retain, and return international students; build sustainable and diversified international enrolment sources; and innovate and adapt learning abroad,” Doyle said.

Lastly, Prof. Alvaro Barbosa shared how small universities can be sustainable through internationalization and research initiatives. “At the heart of any change or transformation in the economy is education. The government [of Macau] realized that more investment was necessary for higher education,” Barbosa said.

“We need to make sure future blended activities can be sustained over time and not only [be] experiments to prove we can do it.” he said.

Capping the second day of the webinar, an exclusive workshop was held for the internationalization officials. The internationalization workshop was facilitated by Mr. Glen Chatelier, Director of the Assumption University – Bangkok, Thailand Office of International Affairs.

The objectives of the activity are: to improve IP awareness among the Pharmacy students of UniSA; and to capacitate them to perform simple patent search for their research projects.听Assoc. Prof. Peralta gave the definitions and the characteristics of the different IP rights and how they are applied to their respective fields.听 Then he oriented them on the different free search engines in conducting patent search to determine the novelty and inventive step of their projects.听 This will assist them to avoid 鈥榬e-inventing the wheel鈥� and thus their projects might just fall within patentable subject matter.听 He gave them a hands-on experience on how to the navigate the free patent databases and to read patent documents.

One of the objectives of the ITSO is to improve IP awareness sharing their expertise and train faculty, students, and researchers in matters of IP, patent searching and patent drafting.  This would eventually lead to more technologies that would be commercialized and transferred to industry partners for public use and at the same time may earn royalties to the inventors as their incentives to create more.

For the students, the institution, the global community

Santiago underscored that internationalization activities redound to benefits for three main sectors: the students, the institution, and the global community.

With the intercultural fluency and soft skills development that students acquire comes a network of international contacts that can jumpstart a career in the international arena and true global citizenship. Such entry into the global workplace of equipped students can bring in the benefits of diversity to the workplace and society, which can become more open and inclusive. Ultimately, such openness to cultures and backgrounds, coupled with the mutual benefits people derive from one another, can redound to peace and order, which are an indirect but desired effect of people living together in harmony.

Talking about the benefit to the institution, Santiago noted that internationalization has aided in the goal of continuous quality improvement, for it, among other things, encouraged discussion and knowledge sharing, attracted talents to the University, created a positive impact on various accreditation efforts and even world rankings, as well as opened doors for scholarships, grants, and exchange opportunities through the enhanced networks the University was able to develop.

How 六合彩直播开奖 does it

Santiago also enumerated 六合彩直播开奖鈥檚 five main internationalization programs, namely Student Mobility Programs, Faculty Diversity, Transnational Researches, Transnational Education, and Internationalization at Home.

For Student Mobility Programs, student exchanges, summer schools, leadership training, discovery tours / academic visits, and research attachments through internships, clinical rotation, and service learning are done.

Apart from sending its students abroad, 六合彩直播开奖 also receives students for mobility programs, for English Language Courses; Tropical Biodiversity and Urban Environment Community Immersion / Internships; Participation in Joint Conferences; and exchange programs funded by the ASEAN International Mobility of Students (AIMS), European Union Support for Higher Education in the ASEAN Region (EU-SHARE) and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Regional Centre for Higher Education and Development (SEAMEO-RIHED). For the period of 2014-2017, South Korean students accounted for the largest cohort of inbound students, at 22%, with China coming in close at 21%.

Faculty diversity is seen through the slew of Visiting Lecturers and Professors (e.g., from the Linnaeus University 鈥� Sweden), Joint Thematic Conferences, Joint Scientific Activities, and Joint Research Supervision (e.g., Bioanalytical Nanotechnology School 鈥撎�Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain).

Currently, Transnational Research has led to at least three global projects, namely the collaboration among Lille 1, CARRTEL, INRA (France); University of Shiga Prefecture (Japan) and National Taiwan University; and the 六合彩直播开奖 to extend the knowledge base on the effect of global changes, especially climate change, on freshwater plankton.

Currently, there are two researches funded by grants from the Newton Fund of the British Council, namely, the Eco-Social Surveying: Mapping Social Assets, Urban Greenery, and the Connections between Them in Rapidly Changing Cities (between the 六合彩直播开奖 and the University of Reading School of Architecture); and the Affordable Near-Patient Tests for Infectious Diseases in the Philippines (between the 六合彩直播开奖 and and the University of Cambridge).

For Transnational Education, five programs are currently running: 1) 3+2 BS Engineering; 2) 5+1 MS Engineering (both with the Catholic University of America); 3) 1+1 Dual MS Chemical Engineering, major in Metallurgical Engineering (with Curtin University 鈥� Australia); 4) Dual PhD in Built Environment / Architecture (with the University of Reading 鈥� United Kingdom); and the Master of Public Health (International) (with the University of Leeds, with which 六合彩直播开奖 has an articulation agreement).

Finally, Internationalization At Home is how 六合彩直播开奖 integrates 鈥渋nternational, intercultural, or global dimensions in the teaching and learning that takes place in the campus,鈥� done through learning a foreign language; interaction with international students through the Buddy System, tutorials, cultural activities, and joint activities, as well as integration of internationalization into the curriculum.

To provide better perspective, Santiago also enumerated 六合彩直播开奖鈥檚 early internationalization efforts, such as the pioneering of health science programs, namely the MS in Audiology (with Macquarie University); MS in Pain Management (with the University of Sydney); and MS in Physical Therapy (with the University of South Australia).
