The 17th Learning Forum of the Association of Universities of Asia and the Pacific (AUAP), held in Daegu, South Korea from May 9-11, 2024, catalyzed international partnerships. A key outcome was the establishment of collaborations between Southville International School and College (SISC) and prestigious institutions, Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) from Indonesia, renowned for its Pharmacy and Business programs, and St. Joseph University (USJ) from Macao, a Catholic university with a rich history of intercultural exchange offering programs in Business and Education.

This collaborative effort between SISC and our new partners, UNAIR and USJ promises to open doors for faculty and student exchange programs, joint research ventures, and the development of international curricula. The partnerships forged at the 17th AUAP conference mark a significant step towards a more interconnected and collaborative global academic landscape.
