“Being part of this global dialogue reaffirms our passion for fostering excellence in education,” shared Dr. Jocelyn Tizon, President of Southville International School and Colleges (SISC), reflecting on the institution’s recent educational tour across Hong Kong and Macau.

The Southville delegation engaged in meaningful academic exchanges at some of the region’s most prestigious universities: The University of Hong Kong (HKU), Lingnan University, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST), and University of Saint Joseph (USJ) Macao. Discussions centered on student and faculty mobility, collaborative academic programs, and benchmarking best practices to further elevate Southville’s educational offerings.

A key highlight of the tour was Southville’s participation in Digital Universities Asia 2025, hosted by Times Higher Education at Lingnan University on July 8 and 9, 2025. The international summit brought together hundreds of education leaders, innovators, and visionaries to explore the transformative power of digital tools and artificial intelligence in reshaping learning ecosystems. Southville’s involvement underscored its commitment to advancing innovation, inclusivity, and global relevance in higher education.

Dr. Tizon noted that Southville’s mission—to nurture lifelong learners grounded in competence, character, commitment to achieve, collaboration, and creativity—is powerfully reflected in its pursuit of global partnerships and data-driven, technology-enhanced learning. These initiatives are part of Southville’s vision to produce graduates who are not only future-ready but also poised to become changemakers in society.

Through this educational tour and summit engagement, Southville further cemented its position as a globally connected institution. By aligning with leading universities and thought leaders across Asia, Southville continues to empower its students to thrive and lead in an ever-evolving world, reaffirming its vision to be nationally and internationally recognized in delivering high-quality international education.
