Two undergraduate students from the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) represented the University at the Asian Undergraduate Symposium (AUS) 2026 of the NUS-AUN Summer Camp Program held at the National University of Singapore on 6-18 July 2026.
Caiden L. Ramirez, a first-year BA Multimedia Studies student from the Faculty of Information and Communication Studies, and Pauline Bwen Ramirez, a second-year Bachelor of Education Studies student from the Faculty of Education, were among the University’s delegates.
Organized by the National University of Singapore, AUS brings together more than 300 undergraduate students from Singapore and across Asia, particularly from ASEAN University Network (AUN) member institutions, for cultural exchange, networking, and collaborative learning. The program encourages participants to transform ideas into practical solutions for real-world challenges while building lasting regional connections.
Under this year’s theme, “Communities in Action,” participants will collaborate on initiatives related to sustainability and innovation, inclusivity and resilience, and heritage and culture.
UPOU congratulates Caiden and Pauline on their selection and wishes them success as they represent the University on the global stage.
