Two students from West Visayas State University shared their experiences about the cultural exchange and educational development in the context of the Student Mobility Exchange Program at Kasetsart University in Thailand.

Mr. Justin Cerillo and Mr. J.C. Fernandez, with their topic Beyond Borders: Where Learning Gets a Passport Stamp, narrated some of their heartfelt moments on Thai culture adaptation, teamwork with professors in research, and adventure around the campus and the country. They went from traveling with a language barrier and an absence of the internet to engaging in advanced research on nematodes and insect species.

Their stories provided an example of both the extent of learning beyond the walls of a classroom and also the value of international educational partnerships that create resilient, knowledgeable, and globally competitive leaders of tomorrow.
