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 commitment to strengthening internationalization initiatives through continuous learning, strategic collaboration, and global academic engagement. The virtual session gathered Higher Education Institutions across the Philippines to deepen their understanding of emerging internationalization strategies and best 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.
