Her participation enriched the dialogue, as the session became a collaborative exchange of insights among institutions committed to strengthening their global presence. Ms. Linsag also expressed interest in exploring best practices that could be contextualized and applied within her institution.

The benchmarking initiative underscored the importance of inter-institutional collaboration in promoting continuous improvement. By learning from UICโ€™s experiences, RMC aims to refine its internationalization strategies, enhance operational structures, and develop policies that are both globally responsive and locally relevant.

This engagement reflects RMCโ€™s ongoing commitment to building a strong and sustainable internationalization framework one that fosters academic excellence, global partnerships, and meaningful cross-cultural engagement. Through strategic benchmarking and collaborative dialogue, RMC positions itself to further expand its international footprint while strengthening institutional policies that support long-term growth and global competitiveness.
