Batac City—The Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) and the Maejo University
(MJU) in Chiang Mai, Thailand have agreed to establish a cooperative
relationship in order to foster strong ties in their respective programs so
that students and employees who might want to pursue exchange studies might
improve their skills and academic performance.
The areas of cooperation are contained
in a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the two universities which was
signed last month by MMSU President Miriam E. Pascua and MJU President Chamnian
Yosraj. Subject to mutual consent includes those programs offered by the two
parties which are considered feasible and desirable and are believed to foster
development partnership between them.
Cooperation shall be carried out through
exchange of students and staff, joint research activities and publications, participation
in seminars and academic meetings, exchange of academic materials and other
relevant information, and special short-term academic programs that are offered
by them.
Like MMSU, MJU is a state university and
is one of the higher institutions in Thailand that strives to nurture and
develop graduates to become technically competent, besides being culturally and
scholarly matured thereby, able to contribute to the future of the country. It
is a degree-granting institute that attempts to educate students in practical
agriculture, aiming to prepare them for development pursuits.
It is interesting to note that MJU
president Yosraj finished his PhD in Animal Science and MS Animal Science from
the University of the Philippines at Los Baños, Laguna in 1990.
