Colloquium Testimonial by Professor Dr. Serafin L. Ngohayon, President of Ifugao State University, Philippines

Testimonial by Professor Dr. Serafin L. Ngohayon, President of Ifugao State University, Philippines regarding his experience in attending the 2nd International University Leadership Colloquium on 20 – 23 March 2010 in Penang, Malaysia.



Professor Dr. Serafin L. Ngohayon is the President of Ifugao State University, Philippines. He is also the President and Chairman of the Board of the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), Inc.


The International Leadership Colloquium offered a first class experience in networking to its participants. This is true because the participants came from diverse academic institutions throughout the world.

Secondly, the participants are academic leaders who could make or were empowered to make commitment for and in behalf of their institutions albeit to a certain extent.

Thirdly, the colloquium offered a perfect platform where collaborations between and among individuals and academic institutions were forged, friendships established and new frontiers of partnerships started.

For Ifugao State University, we look forward to a meaningful, productive and inspiring relationship with the Wroclaw University of Technology of Poland, the Guizhou Normal University of China, the Ahmad Dhalan University of Indonesia and the Suratthani Rajabhat University of Thailand among others.

The common focus of collaboration are on joint program and research activities, on exchanges of academic materials and academic publications and on exchanges/ mutual visits of administrative staff, faculty and staff members and graduate and undergraduate students.

As the head of our university, the personal experiences and insights I gained through my participation is also my university’s gain.
