A recent article by the Korea JoongAng Daily, published after the IAUP Semi-Annual Meeting in Japan, explores the IAUP’s mission and initiatives, highlighting its contributions to the transformation of global education.
In an interview, IAUP and CETYS University President, Fernando Leon-Garcia, emphasized that “any institution committed to quality will eventually expand beyond its local boundaries and embrace the global stage”.
