On December 23, 2024, Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) hosted a workshop titled “Unity in Festivity: Workshop on Cross-Cultural Understanding” for personnel of the Central Administration (CA) at the CA Complex Open Grounds.

This workshop was designed to enhance cross-cultural awareness among administrative staff. The initiative seeks to cultivate an organizational culture that is not only efficient but also empathetic, to empower employees to effectively navigate various cultural contexts within the university, and to foster productive interactions with external partners.

The program commenced with introductory remarks, followed by a message delivered by Dr. Jaime I. Manuel Jr., the University President.

During the main segment of the workshop, Dr. Rodelio V. Indong, Director for Cultural Affairs, offered insights on “Cross-Cultural Understanding,” while Dr. Jesus Rafael B. Jarata, Director for International Affairs, addressed the theme “DMMMSU and the ASEAN: Elevating Our Standards.”

A thanksgiving mass was also offered for the significant accomplishments of DMMMSU throughout the year 2024.
