Subject: AUN-QA Institutional Assessment and ABET Accreditation Visits**

On 4-8 November 2024, a team of assessors and an observer from member universities of the ASEAN University Network (AUN) will conduct the 12th AUN-QA Institutional Assessment in DLSU, Manila. It shall be our second Institutional Assessment, after an initial visit in 2017.

The team consists of fellow academics from the Institut Teknologi Bandung, King Mongkut’s University of Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Sains Malaysia, and the National University of Singapore. The team will be led by Prof. Dr. Satria Bijaksana, AUN-QA Deputy Chairperson. They will assess the University’s Strategic and Systemic quality assurance systems following Ver. 2.0 of the AUN-QA Framework for Institutional Assessment.

Soon after, on 17-19 November, 2024, a team of ten accreditors from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) led by Dr. Gerald Thomas of the Milwaukee School of Engineering will visit our Gokongwei College of Engineering for program re-accreditation. 

Some of us may be invited to interviews or group meetings. Please make yourselves available for these visits. Our decision to undergo AUN-QA Institutional Assessment and ABET accreditation is part of our commitment to continuously improve education at DLSU and ensure we remain at par with international standards.

Let us extend a Lasallian welcome to our visitors and accord them the assistance they request during their respective visits.
