Isabela State University–Cauayan Campus served as the locus of sustained academic dialogue as it convened with Our Lady of the Pillar College–Cauayan for a Benchmarking Activity on Extension and Training Programs, signaling a deliberate move toward deeper institutional consonance and programmatic refinement, January 21.

The engagement featured an institutional briefing led by Prof. Dr. Marisol S. Foronda, Executive Officer of ISU–Cauayan Campus; Dr. Nancy G. De Leon, Director for Extension and Training Services; and Assoc. Prof. Ryan P. Salviejo, Director for External Affairs, Public Relations, and International Linkages. The briefing articulated ISU–Cauayan’s operating architecture for extension and training, foregrounding governance structures, implementation pathways, and accountability measures that underpin effective service delivery.

The OLPC–Cauayan delegation was headed by Extension Director Sofronio Turingan, accompanied by faculty members Ms. Eva Katrina Lopez, Mr. Arvie May Rapio, Mr. Rugene Mejia, and Mr. Ryan Ydia, alongside student representatives who contributed substantively to the exchanges.

Deliberations centered on academic offerings under the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and Bachelor of Secondary Education. The benchmarking sessions enabled both institutions to interrogate existing modalities, surface transferable practices, and recalibrate approaches to community-facing programs with an emphasis on durability, relevance, and institutional fit.

The activity concluded with both parties affirming the strategic value of benchmarking as an instrument for institutional self-scrutiny and cooperative advancement, laying the groundwork for future undertakings that will sharpen the reach and resonance of their extension and training services.
