On August 8, 2024, Misamis University successfully hosted a virtual forum titled "Expanding Horizons: Building Academic and Industry Connections with Southeast Asian Nations" to celebrate the 57th ASEAN Day. The event marked a significant milestone in the university's efforts to advance its internationalization within the ASEAN region.

Although the forum was conducted virtually, participants—including the administration, deans, faculty members, and students from various colleges—attended in person at the Covered Court. The primary focus was on deepening the understanding of Southeast Asian integration and offering valuable insights into identifying potential partner universities and industries across the region. The event also provided a valuable platform for exchanging best practices and exploring future collaboration opportunities, which are expected to significantly boost the university. This initiative reflects Misamis University's commitment to fostering academic collaborations and industry linkages that benefit both its academic community and the broader ASEAN region.
