This significant initiative underscores BIPSU’s commitment to providing international learning experiences and preparing globally competent graduates through its Student Internship Abroad Program (SIAP).
To ensure the highest standards for student training, Mrs. Eden R. Calvez, Program Chairperson for Hospitality Management and SIAP Coordinator, recently conducted an official ocular visit to leading hospitality establishments across Thailand from October 27 to 29, 2025.
