In support of Sustainable Development Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities, Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) continues to promote inclusivity and second chances through initiatives like “MSU-IIT Brings Health and Hope to BJMP-Tipanoy Inmates during National Correctional Consciousness Week” and “Tech Behind Bars: Digital Reformation for Inmates.”
These programs highlight the university’s commitment to rehabilitation, digital empowerment, and equal access to opportunities, ensuring that no one is left behind—even behind bars.
MSU-IIT is building a community where everyone belongs! From the vibrant Kasadya Day celebration, where the College of Health Sciences (CHS) joyfully partnered with Iligan's Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to showcase their talents and foster inclusivity, to the Valentine's Day initiative led by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Services (OVCSS) and the College of Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS), advocating for love and acceptance for all, MSU-IIT is committed to creating a campus and a community where every individual is valued, respected, and celebrated. These events are a testament to our dedication to fostering a culture of inclusivity, unity, and social responsibility, making MSU-IIT a true home for all.
