Strengthening Research and Academic Collaboration:
SJIT–CU 2-Day Research Collaboration, Benchmarking Visit, and Academic Exchange

Saint Joseph Institute of Technology (SJIT) and Capitol University (CU) successfully conducted the 2-Day SJIT–CU Research Collaboration Memorandum of Agreement Signing Ceremony and Benchmarking Visit and Academic Exchange of the SJIT Maritime Academy and CU College of Maritime Education on August 18–19, 2026.

The two-day activity marked a significant milestone in strengthening the partnership between the two institutions. The signing of the Research Collaboration Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) formally established a framework for cooperation in research, knowledge sharing, academic engagement, innovation, and institutional development, while the benchmarking visit and academic exchange provided opportunities to share experiences, explore best practices, and learn from the respective academic and maritime education programs of SJIT and CU.

SJIT extends its sincere appreciation to the distinguished delegation from Capitol University, led by C/M Ceferino E. Rama, Dean of the College of Maritime Education (CME), together with Dr. Romeo B. Miñoza, CME Academic Head; Dr. Jenny B. Cano, CME Research Coordinator; and 2/O Jose N. Ocaya Jr., CME Faculty/Researcher, for their valuable participation, expertise, and insights throughout the two-day activity.

May this partnership serve as a strong foundation for more collaborative research initiatives, academic exchanges, knowledge-sharing activities, maritime education and training partnerships, and institutional development opportunities between Saint Joseph Institute of Technology and Capitol University.

Together, SJIT and CU continue to build meaningful partnerships that advance research, strengthen maritime education, and create opportunities for academic excellence and innovation.

A productive and meaningful discussion was held with Samuel Tang, Director of Sales, and Eng. Tang Lau, Solutions Engineer of Blackboard, focusing on the progress, experiences, challenges, and opportunities in the implementation of the Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS) at Saint Joseph Institute of Technology (SJIT).

As the first higher education institution in the Caraga Region to implement Blackboard LMS, SJIT continues to demonstrate its commitment to digital transformation, technological innovation, and excellence in education.
