David Urieta, an International Service-Learning student from College of Mount Saint Vincent, New York, USA fulfills Urban Missionaries of the Philippines' (UM) long-time dream - having their own website.
UM's first ever Website:
Ma. Lourdes M. Berin, Executive Trustee of UM, shares her appreciation for David's work:
David is a graduate student from College of Mount Saint Vincent in New York. As part of his M.S. in International Development and Service Program, he took up courses at De La Salle University's College of Liberal Arts (CLA) and completed service hours at UM.
He was placed at UM because of his expressed interest in labor, migration and informal economies.
The program is part of De La Salle University's continuing goal of expanding international partnerships for service-learning.

The SLAN Members were joined in the afternoon by seventy-two (72) FIlipino faculty members and university personnel for a symposium on the theme "Service-Learning in Asia: Models and Best Practices in Course Design and Evaluation."
The keynote speaker for the symposium, Dr. Carol Ma Hok Ka from the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) gave an overview of service-learning models and practices in Asia. She emphasized that the best service-learning model is the one that aligns with an institution's Vision and Mission.
"There is no single best service-learning model, only the best model within a university. The best model is the one that aligns with the university's vision and mission."
During the panel discussion, Dr. Thera Chui , Vice Dean of Taipei Medical University presented the mobile application they developed for service-learning. The app helps provide faculty members and students with online and real-time information for monitoring, scheduling and evaluation of service-learning activities.
Asst. Prof. Deborah Mae Salem of Siliman University meanwhile shared her institution's SL journey from having only a handful of champions to its current 20+ academic units implementing service-learning.
Last but not the least, Dr. Meen Sheng Yap, Service-Learning Director of Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and former Asst. Director of the Ministry of Education, discussed the evolution of Service-Learning in Singapore and its transformation in SUSS.
