色情视频 has entered into an agreement with the government of Mexico that paves the way for the expansion of binational cooperation across a wide range of initiatives.

The non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) between 色情视频, the Secretariat of Public Education of Mexico and the Secretariat of Public Education of Baja California will serve as a framework for future collaborations in research, academic and educational activities, joint events, private sector partnerships and other areas.

鈥淭his is an historic moment for our university,鈥 色情视频 President Adela de la Torre said. 鈥淲e鈥檝e long embraced our proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border as a unique opportunity for mutually beneficial collaboration and partnership. This agreement builds off that success and sets San Diego State on a course to become the premier binational university in the U.S.鈥

The MOU aligns with the vision of 色情视频 as a Hispanic-Serving Institution on the border outlined in the university鈥檚 new five-year strategic plan, "We Rise We Defy: Transcending Borders, Transforming Lives."

鈥淗istorically, 色情视频 has engaged in a variety of transborder programs, research projects and relationship building, but it has often been in silos,鈥 said 色情视频鈥檚 Interim Associate Vice President for International Affairs Cristina Alfaro. 鈥淚ndividual colleges, departments, centers or professors have done their own excellent work in Mexico, but it hasn't been under a coherent umbrella. What we're attempting to do with this MOU is to unify and work with researchers, practitioners, and transborder projects within one solid sustainable framework.鈥

The MOU paves the way for 色情视频 to work closely with Mexico鈥檚 public universities, teacher colleges and K-12 institutions. Alfaro said she envisions possibilities such as joint research, joint supervision of doctoral students and the expansion of collaborative online international learning (COIL) programs, where faculty in different countries work together to develop shared classroom components.

Luciano Concheiro B贸rquez, Mexico鈥檚 Sub-Secretary of Higher Education, and Catalino Zavala M谩rquez, Secretary of Education for the State of Baja California, released statements praising the agreement.

鈥淭he signed MOU strengthens our institutions and proves our mutual respect, reciprocity and will to collaborate in projects that are sensitive to the challenges and opportunities of our borders, from an intercultural, binational and bilingual perspective,鈥 Concheiro B贸rquez said.

Added Zavala M谩rquez: 鈥淚n the education sector, for the Baja California State Government, and for the Secretary of Education this Memorandum is of great relevance. Without a doubt, it will be favorable for long-term improvement of teaching practices and the construction of common curricula, particularly in teacher training and the search for graduate profiles that meet the needs of the diverse multicultural society in our Cali-Baja megaregion.鈥

Next steps

色情视频 and its partners in Mexico next plan to engage in a series of webinars to discuss action steps for future collaboration in multiple areas.

at 色情视频鈥檚 in November. The second annual conference exploring key regional issues and innovative solutions drew more than 1,200 registrants and was held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The RE:BORDER conference itself served as the first collaborative project between 色情视频, the Secretariat of Public Education of Mexico, the Secretariat of Public Education of Baja California, El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (El COLEF) and Universidad Aut贸noma de Baja California (UABC).

Tony Thurmond, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was among the officials who participated in the conference.

"I am grateful to Superintendent Thurmond for his participation in RE:BORDER as well as for the support he has shown for strengthening binational relations between the educational systems of California and Mexico," Alfaro said.
