Misamis University continues to strengthen its collaboration with Briese Schiffahrt Philippines, a German manning agency representing Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co. KG. The company specializes in the transportation of freight and cargo across Germany and worldwide. On January 13-14, 2025, Briese Schiffahrt Philippines conducted a recruitment drive for marine cadets at the Function Hall of Misamis University. The activity aimed to select candidates for one-year shipboarding assignments aboard the international vessels of Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co. KG, in compliance with MARINA requirements.
The recruitment activity was conducted by Briese personnel, including C/M Jill V. Colango, 2/E Jhea Macapañas, and 2/M Ruth Jonah Agomaa. They administered qualifying examinations to a total of 130 students from the Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation and Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering programs. Headed by the College Dean, Capt. Arturo M. Genon, the event was facilitated by MU personnel, including C/E Maurece S. Bonita, Capt. Angelo S. Cabatingan, and Capt. Allan M.
