The UPLB Quality Assurance Office (QAO) has new QA partners.

Meet Bien and Cali. They are UPLB QAO’s animated character-partners. 

They represent the office and are UPLB’s partners in QA who are “tasked” to provide information and trivia about QAO, its mandates and activities, and QA on a biweekly basis in the office’s Facebook Page. 

They address concerns and needs regarding internal, external, and institutional assessment, as well as training courses and programs, seminars on QA, and writing of self-assessment reports. They also  answer inquiries about completing the Internal Academic Assessment and Development System.

Bien got his name from the Spanish word “bien”, which means “well” in English, while Cali’s name is from the Spanish word “calidad,” which is translated to “quality” in English. 

Bien and Cali represent UPLB QAO as it aims for “good quality” for UPLB’s QA.

Welcome, Bien and Cali! (Katrina Anne E. Blanco)
