Sunway University signs MOU with UA&P

On November 16, the School of Arts of Sunway University (Sun-U), Malaysia, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with UA&P, paving the way for a more fruitful academic exchange between the two universities, which are both part of the ASEAN education network.

University President Dr. Winston Conrad B. Padojinog inked an agreement at the PLDT Hall with Sun-U School of Arts Associate Dean (International) Dr. Mayco Axel Santaella and Department of Communication Head Dr. Padma Priya K.R. Pillai. That afternoon, Dr. Pillai delivered a lecture on “Nay or Say of Non-playable Characters (NPC) Trends in TikTok” and how it leaves a digital footprint.

The Sun-U professors’ visit to UA&P and the MOU is an offshoot of the benchmarking visit of the College of Arts and Sciences to Sun-U in July 2023.
