Walailak University and Sultan Kudarat State University Advance Strategic Collaboration

In September 2024, Walailak University (WU) and Sultan Kudarat State University (SKSU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a dynamic partnership focused on academic, research, and cultural collaboration. Since then, initiatives have already been launched, with more exciting plans set to unfold in 2025.

Walailak University’s School of Languages and General Education (SOLGEN) actively supports the partnership, which has played a fundamental role in facilitating early activities and shaping upcoming programs.
