The event was graced by UM’s Management Committee Officers, led by President and CEO Dr. Guillermo P. Torres, Jr., marking another significant step forward in the university’s internationalization journey.

For this semester, UM is set to host more than 20 international guests on various schedules, representing faculty and student exchanges from Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and the USA.
