Kidapawan City, August 23, 2025 – Progress begins where vision meets action. Central Mindanao Colleges is preparing to join the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings 2025, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and global standards. As part of this initiative, the Facilities and Safety Team (FAST) has officially begun land preparation for the Annex Campus Open Field, a key feature of the institution’s Green Campus vision. This development, under Zone 3: Green Spaces and Open Field of the Campus Development Plan, envisions a multi-functional ground for ROTC training, sports, Physical Education classes, and campus-wide gatherings. To complement this project, bike lanes will also be introduced—promoting sustainable transportation and encouraging healthier, eco-friendly mobility among CMCians. Beyond functionality, the Green Campus Annex symbolizes CMC’s commitment to sustainability and holistic student development. It provides a safe, inclusive, and dynamic venue that supports health, education, and community engagement while strengthening the college’s role in environmental stewardship. This effort also positions CMC as an active contributor to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly: • SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being): through spaces for wellness and physical activity. • SDG 4 (Quality Education): through inclusive and enabling learning environments. • SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities): through safe, accessible open spaces and sustainable transport options. • SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals): through its broader Green Campus efforts and partnerships for sustainability. With every milestone, the Annex Campus steadily transforms into a true Green Campus—a place where learning, sustainability, and community converge. More than infrastructure, the Open Field and its eco-friendly features are a promise of progress: building a future where CMCians thrive in an environment that nurtures excellence, balance, and well-being. Choose CMC—where community moves, commitment acts, and change takes purpose. #ChooseCMC #UIGreenMetric2025 #GreenCampus #SustainableCMC #BikeLanes #SDG3 #SDG4 #SDG11 #SDG13 #SDG15 #SDG17 #CMCiansLead
