Commission on Higher Education, in partnership with Western Mindanao State University and KCC Mall de Zamboanga present the State Universities and Colleges (SUC) Fair 2024 on July 9-11, 2024 with the theme "Weaving Culture and Innovations for a Transformative, Resilient, and Globally-recognized Philippine Higher Education."
The SUC Fair Expo, launched in 2020 by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), has transcended the limitations of a traditional product expo. This annual event aligns perfectly with CHED's vision of an equitable higher education system producing graduates who are locally responsive, innovative, and globally competitive. As a vital platform for State Universities and Colleges (SUC) across the Philippines, the SUC Fair Expo showcases how SUCs fulfill CHED's mandate of promoting relevant and quality higher education.
Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), as this year's host, plays a pivotal role in facilitating the participation of all SUCs, providing the venue, logistical support, and ensuring a smooth event. This allows SUCs to unveil their unique academic programs, cutting-edge research, and innovative ventures. This, in turn,fosters a well-informed student audience, promotes technology transfer, and celebrates cultural diversity.
The Fair's engaging booth design contests further showcase creativity alongside product exhibits, igniting friendly competition. The SUC Fair Expo serves not just as a marketplace, but as a powerful platform that recognizes the dedication of SUCs, and highlights their commitment to fostering academic excellence, developing innovative solutions, and nurturing graduates with the potential to gain recognition on both local and international stages.
