Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC), through the Center for
International Affairs and Linkages (CIAL), actively participated in the 8th
Session of Project PIVOT (Partnerships for International Visibility and
Operational Transformation) on July 23, 2026, reaffirming the institution's

practices in higher education.
The eighth session featured the Transnational Higher Education
(TNHE) Division of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), which provided a
comprehensive discussion on Transnational Higher Education and its growing
significance in enhancing the quality, accessibility, and global
competitiveness of Philippine higher education. The session highlighted the
role of TNHE in fostering cross-border academic collaboration, expanding
international educational opportunities, and promoting innovative academic models
that respond to the evolving demands of a globalized educational landscape.
Beyond providing an overview of Transnational Higher Education,
the session emphasized the importance of strategic institutional readiness,
quality assurance, policy compliance, and sustainable international
partnerships in the successful implementation of TNHE initiatives. It also
underscored how collaborative academic programs and international engagement
can create greater opportunities for students, faculty members, and higher
education institutions to participate in globally relevant and transformative
educational experiences.
CMC's participation in Project PIVOT 8 reflects the
institution's continuing efforts to strengthen its internationalization agenda
by actively engaging in capacity-building initiatives that promote academic
excellence, innovation, and institutional development. Through continuous
participation in Project PIVOT, the College remains committed to exploring
opportunities that broaden global perspectives, enhance institutional
capabilities, and cultivate meaningful international collaborations.
Aligned with the College's internationalization agenda, the
initiative advances the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,
particularly SDG 4: Quality Education by promoting globally relevant and
inclusive higher education opportunities, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and
Infrastructure by encouraging innovative academic models and institutional
development, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals by strengthening
collaboration among higher education institutions, government agencies, and
international partners in advancing sustainable internationalization
initiatives.
As Central Mindanao Colleges continues to expand its global
engagement initiatives, participation in Project PIVOT reflects the
institution's unwavering commitment to fostering academic excellence, embracing
innovative international education strategies, and strengthening institutional
capacity to respond to the evolving landscape of global higher education.
Through strategic learning engagements and international collaborations, CMC remains steadfast in its mission of nurturing globally competent graduates, strengthening international partnerships, and advancing transformative education that prepares learners to lead and succeed in an increasingly interconnected world.
