The Commission on Higher Education Regional Office I (CHED RO1) and Lyceum-Northwestern University (L-NU) conducted an information session on L-NU's Project UNITE (University Network for Institutional Transformation and Excellence): Strengthening Higher Education through Collaborative Growth on Tuesday, with more than 60 participants from higher education institutions (HEIs) across Region I.

As the 10th information session under Project CHANGE this year, the session provided HEIs with an opportunity to learn about L-NU’s collaborative platform for mentoring, benchmarking, technical assistance, capacity-building, resource-sharing, and the exchange of good practices.

Led by Dr. Rodney Odesson P. Raguindin, Vice President for Academic Affairs of L-NU, the session highlighted opportunities for collaboration in areas such as academic development, research, student development, internationalization, quality assurance, governance, and digital transformation.

"The goal of this project is to help each institution in the region to become stronger in its own mission while allowing all of us here to learn from one another," Dr. Raguindin said.

"This project treats partnership as a continuing relationship, not a one-day event, that can connect those activities into a coherent institutional development agenda," he added.

“Strong Minds Save Lives: Mental Wellness as the Foundation of Medical Excellence”

Lyceum-Northwestern University held a Mental Wellness Seminar for College of Medicine Students on September 29, 2026, at the L-NU Learning Resource Center, highlighting the importance of mental well-being in the journey toward becoming excellent and compassionate physicians.

The seminar was spearheaded by Dr. Eugene M. Reyes, Vice President for Student Affairs and Alumni Relations, together with Dr. Grace Salvador-Fontanilla, Head of Guidance Services, and featured Dr. Mary Ann Reyes, RGC as the Keynote Speaker.

Mental wellness is not a luxury but a necessity, especially for our future doctors. As they dedicate themselves to caring for others, the seminar emphasized that taking care of one’s own mental health is equally important.

A healthy mind builds resilience, strengthens compassion, and prepares our future physicians to become not only excellent doctors, but also caring and well-rounded human beings.

Strong minds save lives. Let us continue to care for the healers who will care for others.
