Global mobility isnโ€™t just about going abroadโ€”itโ€™s about building friendships that last forever! These connections go far beyond classrooms and borders, turning distant places into home and strangers into family.

On August 5, the Internationalization Office welcomed Jasfer Dela Cruz and Wendy Vallejo, two Marian alumni from its first Erasmus+ batches; Lei Keneth Lolong, a Marian student soon heading to Belgium under the same program; and Dinka Joy Gijsels, Wendyโ€™s dear buddy from Belgium who traveled all the way to visit. This meeting shows that every exchange creates bonds that truly span the globe. ๐Ÿ’›โœจ
