Dr. Mirelly Buitrago-González believes students should be the focus of any educational institution. She believes an educational experience should provide an optimal learning environment that promotes students' physical, emotional, and mental health. It should also integrate values like honesty, respect, and kindness. Academic services should be aligned with open access and quality service according to policies and procedures. Professionals should act as facilitators using assessment, technology, and creativity. Language education should include cultural experiences and correct use of linguistic and phonetic components, integrated with technology, research, and effective teaching strategies.
