The morning session featured Dr. Rocío Carrasco-Carrasco, an English Literature professor at UHU, who presented her research project titled “Trans-formations: Queer Practices of Use and Embodiment in Post-9/11 Narratives in English.” Her lecture introduced the concept of “queer practices” as a lens to challenge prevailing narratives of exclusion and inequality—offering fresh insights into how literature can shape our understanding of identity and social change. The session sparked meaningful discussions among faculty members from various colleges.

In the afternoon, Dr. Sarrah Ben Abdennebi, Psychology professor in UHU’s Nursing program, led a session attended by faculty from the College of Social Sciences – Department of Psychology, along with staff from the Human Resource Development Office. Her lecture delved into key psychological frameworks relevant to nursing and human development.

Following the academic exchange, the visiting professors were hosted by the Pansigedan Advocacy Cooperative (PAC), where they were warmly welcomed by General Manager Rhea S. Loncio. The visit featured a guided tour of PAC’s facilities and an introduction to its diverse community-based initiatives.

BSU and US Peace Corps Explore Partnership Renewal in Support of the SDGs

April 3, 2025La Trinidad, Benguet – Benguet State University (BSU) and the United States Peace Corps are working to revive their partnership, setting the stage for Peace Corps Volunteers to return and support BSU’s elementary and secondary schools. This renewed collaboration aims to strengthen quality education (SDG 4), global partnerships (SDG 17), and community development.

Jessica Sucgang, Program Manager of Peace Corps Philippines – Education Sector, expressed optimism, stating, “We are looking forward to sending volunteers again to BSU.” She was joined by education volunteers Edward Foran and Maizie Anders in discussions with BSU’s International Relations Office (IRO) and the College of Teacher Education (CTE) on potential areas of collaboration, particularly in teacher training, English language education, and student development.

To assess BSU’s readiness to host volunteers, the team visited the Secondary and Elementary Laboratory Schools and discussed plans to conduct an orientation session for CTE faculty. Before the meeting, they paid a courtesy visit to the Office of the University President, where Atty. Andres Arnold W. Lampacan, Finance Division Chief and Officer-in-Charge for the day, warmly welcomed them.

Established in 1961, Peace Corps Philippines is the agency’s second-oldest program, with volunteers making lasting contributions to education, youth development, and coastal resource management. Through this partnership renewal, BSU reaffirms its commitment to enhancing education quality, fostering global cooperation, and promoting inclusive learning opportunities. The return of Peace Corps Volunteers is expected to empower local educators, enrich student learning, and strengthen international collaboration at BSU. //DIAllasiw
