MSEUF strengthens global linkages with Taylor’s University Malaysia

As part of its international benchmarking initiative, a delegation from Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF) visited Taylor’s University in Malaysia on the fourth day of its academic mission. The visit aimed to explore collaborative opportunities, benchmark global best practices, and build long-term academic partnerships.

Representing MSEUF were Dr. Claudia Odette J. Ayala, Dr. Felix M. Mercado, Atty. Dario R. Opistan, and Dr. Jennifer B. Reyes. The delegation was welcomed at the School Board Room of the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Events (SHTE) by Taylor’s University leaders: Dr. Kandappan Balasubramanian, Head of School; Dr. Jeetesh Kumar, Head of Research; Dr. Rupam Konar, Programme Director; Dr. Anshul Garg, Programme Director (MIHM); Dr. Thanam Subramaniam, Senior Lecturer; and Dr. Khairiah Binti Hj. Ismail, Programme Director.

The discussion focused on mutual interests in research collaboration, international academic partnerships, and exchange programs. MSEUF also gained valuable insights into Taylor’s University’s institutional strategies, which have helped secure its position in prestigious global rankings—251st in the QS World Rankings 2025 and 3,079th in Edurank’s Global 2025 listing.

In a gesture of mutual respect, MSEUF presented a certificate of appreciation and a token of gratitude to Taylor’s University. The meeting concluded with an invitation for MSEUF to join the 9th Asia Euro Tourism, Hospitality, and Gastronomy Research Conference, which Taylor’s University will host in the Maldives on May 10–12, 2026.

This visit marks another step forward in MSEUF’s ongoing commitment to global engagement, academic excellence, and providing transformative learning opportunities through international linkages.
