As part of the Memorandum of Agreement signed between the University of San Agustin and Xavier University, a Focused Group Discussion (FGD) and learning session were organized today by the International Relations Office (IRO) of the University of San Agustin, in partnership with the Department and the USA Junior Diplomats Corps, with students and faculty members from both institutions in attendance.

Foreign Service students of the University of San Agustin and History and International Studies students of Xavier University engaged in a fruitful dialogue centered on the importance of international cooperation, touching on topics of history, law, global politics, and soft power. It was indeed an enriching experience.

The activity was participated in by members of the University of San Agustin faculty, Prof. John Paul Mondejar (Director of the International Relations Office), Atty. Jamaica Molaga, and Atty Justin Francis Bionat, as well as faculty members of Xavier University, Prof. Catalina Gaite, Prof. Gleford Lagcao, Jr., and Prof. Aizzle Kay Tabafa.
