Two MSU-IIT participants attended the Youth for UNESCO International Assembly including Mr. Jan Mart Calimpong, a 4th year BS HRM student and former student governor of CBAA, who represented the Rotaract Club of Metro Iligan. Other participants represented different schools from across the Philippines such as University of the Philippines, Colegio de San Juan de Letran, Siliman University and Xavier University. Mr. Calimpong took part in crafting resolutions for the Committee on Culture and for which he was recognized as one of the best speakers in the assembly.
