Project Description
PSAU recognizes that the world is quickly globalizing and that there is a need to collaborate with international organizations in order to promote understanding and learning.
At present, the University has an Internationalization Team, tasked with developing and implementing a strategic plan to effectively and efficiently expand and sustain international partnerships with higher education institutions and to host national and international conventions/conferences that focus on many diverse subject areas. PSAU believes that knowledge sharing in this capacity will have a long-term impact on the empowerment of people and on societal benefit.
A PCRV is needed to work with the staff of the PSAU Office of External Linkages and International Affairs and the Internationalization Team to further its relationships with national and international partners. The PCRV will review the current strategic plan that is in place, facilitate the participation of PSAU in international conferences and related activities, and help to develop a sustainable five year plan for PSAU internationalization. He/she will assist PSAU through networking and international partnership development and will conduct benchmarking activities that will help in creating best practices for the university. This Peace Corps Response assignment will help PSAU pursue their goal of internationalization to address common problems of people from different places to promote understanding of diverse cultures with the long term goal of fostering harmony between people and countries.
Please note that departure dates and other details of this project could change because of the uncertainties as Peace Corps and local partners resume volunteer operations. Candidates selected for this position will be arriving in the Philippines together as a group, so while the departure dates for the whole group could change, dates cannot be changed for individual candidates.
