Philippine Consul General Neil Ferrer welcomed Filipino postgraduate public administration students under the joint academic program of the Ateneo de Zamboanga University (ADZU) and San Francisco-based Golden Gate University (GGU), at the Philippine Center in San Francisco last January 31. The students were accompanied by Dr. Joaquin Gonzalez, the Filipino American Vice Provost for Global Affairs of GGU.
The callers comprise the pilot batch of postgraduate students under the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two universities in 2022. Consul General Ferrer said that the joint ADZU-GGU program opens opportunities for students from Philippine provinces to enroll in a world-class American university, and learn best practices from local governments and civil society organizations in California. As a token of appreciation for their visit, Consul General Ferrer gave the students copies of the book “Images of America: Filipinos in San Francisco.” San Francisco PCG photos
