Cor Jesu College represented the Philippines during the MacroJournals Conference on Business and Social Science: New York 2015 last December 28-29, 2015 held at New York Hilton Midtown, New York, USA.
The conference gathered participants from Canada, Poland, Greece, South Korea, Russia, United States of America, Morocco, Germany, Turkey, Indonesia, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Sweden, Taiwan, Egypt, South Africa, Malaysia, and Philippines. There were also registered poster presenters form South Africa, Croatia, and Nigeria.
Dr. Randy A. Tudy was the only representative from the Philippines. “It was my first international research conference where I was the only Filipino. Though I was also proud of the paper I presented, I was greatly amazed at the outputs of other researchers, some of them were known scientists in their field,” Dr. Tudy explained. “One of them was a scientist from Egypt who discovered a new cure for skin disease,” Dr. Tudy added.
Dr. Tudy presented a paper, co-authored by his wife, Dr. Ida G. Tudy, entitled “When the Child is not Born: The Sensitive World of Filipino Childless Teachers.” His trip to New York was funded by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Cor Jesu College.
Dr. Tudy is the Director of the Center for Social Development Research (CSDR) at Cor Jesu College. “As a research leader in our school, I opened the gates of opportunities for other researchers, especially in doing quality research and getting funding from CHED,” Dr. Tudy proudly shared.
Cor Jesu College is very supportive to faculty and staff when it comes to research. In fact, the school president, Bro. Ellakim P. Sosmeña, recently approved policies on incentives for conducting action research and additional incentives for researchers who will present their papers in the local, national and international conferences.
The school supports their faculty and staff in disseminating their research outputs. “The conference and the trip to the United States of America were very inspiring and morale boasting both in the personal and professional sense,” shared by a visibly happy Dr. Tudy. “Since I was already there, I took advantage of visiting the tourist spots, museums and historical places, including the Ground Zero of the 9/11 or World Trade Center,” he added.
