On June 7, 2024, Batangas State University TNEU Lipa College of Informatics and Computing Sciences visited Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University South La Union Campus (DMMMSU SLUC) for a benchmarking activity. The initiative involved five core faculty members from Batangas State University’s College of Informatics and Computing Sciences (CICS).

Led by Dr. Ryndel V. Alforado, Dean of CICS, the delegation aimed to enhance professional development by looking into the best practices and fostering collaborations with other institutions offering the degree BS Computer Science.

The specific objectives of the activity included identifying and adopting best practices in teaching, research, and community service; establishing partnerships with leading universities and industry leaders for joint research and knowledge exchange; and providing opportunities for faculty development through collaborative projects and training programs.

The group was warmly welcomed by SLUC Chancellor Dr. Joanne C. Rivera, CCS Dean Prof. Enrico Dacanay, and other campus heads. After the presentation of the campus’ best practices in instruction, research and extension, the visitors toured SLUC’s research and extension office.
