February 18, 2025BSU welcomed representatives from Odisee University College, Belgium, from February 17 to 21, 2025, to renew their academic partnership. Kathy Pletinckx and Sabrien De Prez visited the University to explore continued collaboration.

During the Flag Raising Ceremony on February 17, IRO Director Rex John G. Bawang formally introduced the Belgian delegates to the BSU community. They later paid a courtesy visit to BSU President Kenneth A. Laruan, College of Nursing (CN) Dean Mark U. Gay-as, and other CN representatives to discuss future academic exchanges and joint initiatives.

As part of their visit, they toured key research centers, including the Cordillera Regional Apiculture Center (CRAC) and the Institute of Highland Farming Systems and Agroforestry (IHFSA), gaining insight into BSU’s research and extension programs. A cultural welcome followed in the afternoon, where the KONTAD cultural group performed traditional dances, showcasing the University’s rich heritage.

BSU and Odisee University College previously collaborated on a student exchange program, with two Belgian nursing students sent to BSU in 2020. However, the initiative was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. With this renewed engagement, both institutions aim to revive student exchanges and explore broader academic collaborations, including potential partnerships with the College of Teacher Education.

February 3, 2025International Wetlands Day is celebrated every February 2nd to remember the signing of the Ramsar Convention in 1971. This day helps raise awareness about the importance of wetlands in our environment. Wetlands provide homes for wildlife, clean water, help control floods, and help in fighting climate change.

Featured Image: Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary

The Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary in Agusan del Sur, Mindanao, is a Ramsar site, an ecological and cultural area. The marsh acts as a natural flood buffer, absorbing excess rainwater and supporting diverse wildlife, including migratory birds, endangered Philippine crocodile, and various fish species. It also helps sustain Indigenous Manobo communities living in floating houses. However, threats like deforestation, pollution, and climate change endanger its ecosystem.

Taking immediate action will help safeguard this sanctuary and ensure its protection for future generations.
