Misamis University embodied its mission of responding to the needs of the community, exposing students to real-world situations by engaging in community extension and promoting unity and collaboration. In celebration of the school’s 95th Foundation Anniversary, one of the traditions was to conduct a Joint Community Extension and Medical-Dental Outreach Program. It was participated by around 200 faculty, students, and staff from the different colleges and departments last October 10, 2024. It was held in the community of Barangay Barra, Tudela, Misamis Occidental.

Barra, a coastal community, has been a long-time partner of the College of Maritime Education through their Coastal Resources Regeneration and Alternative Livelihood (CoRRAL) Project since 2010. The department has conducted several extension activities, such as (1) environmental classes for the youth, women, fisherfolks, and residents; (2) mangrove growing; (3) coastal clean-up; (4) support for pots and plots vegetable gardening; (5) construction of communal toilets; (6) distribution of rakes, trash bins, school supplies, and PPEs like facemasks, alcohol, face shields, and BPAT uniforms during the COVID-19 pandemic.
