Quezon City University (QCU) strengthened its position in the global higher education landscape after formally receiving its official recognition for the Times Higher Education (THE) Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026 during the Global Sustainable Development Congress (GSDC) 2026 held in Indonesia.
The official certificate of recognition was received by the QCU delegation on 23 June 2026, ahead of the official announcement of results released on 24 June 2026, marking another milestone in the University’s continuing journey toward sustainability excellence and international recognition.
