Professional Testimonial
They made organizing the Lauder Institute's 2026 Global Program summer immersion to the Philippines an easy process. The team worked with our curriculum needs to match the proper speakers and institutions.
Their deep knowledge of the Philippine political, economic, and security landscape helped us develop a thoughtful and engaging itinerary.
We greatly appreciated the care and professionalism the CSAP team brought to every aspect of the program and would highly recommend working with them for future academic exchanges.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Philippine-American Educational Foundation in the context of my Johns Hopkins class's one-week study trip to Manila. The Foundation (CSAP)'s staff could not have been more helpful in facilitating meaningful learning opportunities for my students.
For example, the Foundation organized a memorable roundtable with leading scholars of Philippine foreign policy and national security, and the students found the experience tremendously engaging and informative. I will certainly be reaching out to the Foundation again in the future.
