Last June 21, 2018, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for students’ Exchange was inked between Yamagata University and Samar State University (SSU). A faculty representative in the person of Dr. Yutaka Ito personally visited SSU in March 2018 to discuss the said collaboration. It was become easy considering that there was two personnel of SSU who were alumni of YU, namely: Engr. Francisco Dequito of the College of Engineering and Dr. Elmer Irene from the College of Education. The two SSU personnel assisted Dr. Ito’s visit to SSU and toured him around the city of Catbalogan.
