MSEUF Supports International Students through Buddy Programs

Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF) strengthens its commitment to global engagement by implementing Buddy Programs for international students starting SY 2024-2025.

The initiative pairs local student volunteers with foreign enrollees, supported by a designated faculty Counsellor who provides academic guidance and mentorship.

Through this program, international students experience a smoother transition into campus life while fostering cross-cultural friendships.

The Buddy Program along with faculty support enhances intercultural understanding among MSEUF students and enriches their global perspective.

This initiative reflects the university’s dedication to building a welcoming and inclusive environment for its diverse student community. 

The program head and the International Support Center Coordinator from the College of Architecture and Fine Arts Ms. Melba Sardea led the buddy program with Benito Frank L. Shoup, American BS Architecture student last August 7, 2024 at CAFA Consultation Room.
