Misamis University held a Seminar on Student Mobility on January 16, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the H.T.F. Activity Center, Misamis University, Ozamiz City. The seminar aimed to provide a venue for students who participated in short-term classes at partner higher education institutions (HEIs) abroad to share the opportunities they availed of and the insights and impressions they gained from their international academic experiences.

The seminar also featured local student mobility, highlighting students who joined symposium/academic activities at other universities in the Philippines. Through these shared experiences, the activity aimed to inspire more students to actively participate in the student mobility programs initiated by Misamis University.
