ROLE IN ADVANCING GLOBAL GOALS: UM’S UNIFIED APPROACH TO THE SDGS
Addressing global sustainability challenges requires institutions to drive the United Nations' SDGs. The University of Mindanao advances these goals by collaborating with NGOs, government bodies, and organizations like PNVSCA. Through initiatives like the International Volunteerism Symposium and gender-focused forums, UM fosters dialogue on critical topics.
Student volunteer programs, research partnerships, and sustainability-focused curricula ensure active participation in community development. Transparency is prioritized through progress reports shared via ConnectUM and other platforms, promoting accountability. While significant strides have been made, UM aims to expand international collaborations, strengthening its impact on global sustainability initiatives through education, research, and partnerships.
