Subject: AUN-QA Institutional Reassessment**

I am pleased to announce the successful completion of DLSU’s Institutional Reassessment by the ASEAN University Network (AUN-QA).

 Their site visit last November has yielded a report citing DLSU’s strengths across 15 criteria, most notably in Leadership and Strategy, Financial and Physical Resources, Quality Assurance System, and Financial and Market Results. As ever, these are paired with recommendations for our continuous improvement as an institution.

 I would like to thank all who contributed to this successful reassessment: the AUN-QA Assessor Team, led by Prof. Dr. Satria Bijaksana of the Institut Teknologi Bandung; our Trustees, University Fellows, administrators, faculty, students, support staff, alumni, and external partners who contributed valuable feedback and insights throughout. Thank you to the staff of the Strategic Management and Quality Assurance Office (SMQA), and to the team of Dr. Wyona Patalinghug, Dr. Kimberley Migallos, Dr. Julita Robles, and Dr. Gerardo Largoza that oversaw preparations of DLSU’s Self-Assessment Report (SAR).

 We trust that these increasingly international accreditation and assessment milestones, along with data from global rankings that highlight research productivity and social impact, will renew our Mission focus and spur us, on our Golden Jubilee year, to set even higher standards for our learning, research, and service.

Congratulations and Animo La Salle!
