St. Dominic College of Asia (SDCA) welcomed the 3rd batch of exchange students from Nagasaki International University (NIU) last August 22.
The Department of Student Affairs and Services, along with SDCA administrators and selected 4th-year BS Tourism students, conducted a Pasalubong Ceremony for the nine Japanese students. Dr. Gregorio A. Andaman Jr., the President of SDCA, delivered welcoming remarks as the students prepared for their English Proficiency Program at SDCA, which will last for a month.
Each Japanese student was paired with a BS Tourism student who will serve as their student buddy throughout their stay. As part of the ceremony, the exchange students were given an SDCA pin to symbolize their participation in the program.
SDCA has been in partnership with NIU since 2014, fostering international collaboration, cultural exchange, and shared learning experiences, further strengthening its commitment to global education.
