β€œThis benchmarking activity is a powerful catalyst for growth and an opportunity to learn from the best practices of each university. Let us embrace this experience with an open mind and a collaborative spirit – recognizing that the insights gained will not only enhance our individual performance but also strengthen our collective journey toward achieving our shared goals,” Dr. Franquera said.
