Collaboration with like-minded organizations has been instrumental in advancing St. Paul’s University’s motto: “We are Servants and Humanity” through numerous opportunities that have benefited students and staff alike. Academic scholarships, exchange programmes for students and staff, joint research and
conferences, networking forums, academic trips are some of the benefits accrued so far.
