Wear Your Values Day | Teamwork

At The University of Mindanao, we uphold our core values in everyday work. This month, green represented Teamwork, highlighting the importance of collaboration in everything we do.

The HR-led initiative encouraged all departments across UM to reflect on how teamwork strengthens effectiveness and fosters unity. Each office approached this reflection in their own way, bringing the value to life within their teams.

In LIC-IMS, our team held a discussion to share insights on how collaboration strengthens our work. Active participation reflected the trust, cooperation, and shared goals that guide our daily responsibilities.

Every role matters, and every contribution counts... together, we achieve more. 💚

Today, we celebrate the enduring power of a united people.

EDSA teaches us that when freedoms are threatened, courage must rise; when voices are silenced, conviction must speak louder. As students, may we remain vigilant, informed, and principled, choosing integrity over indifference, truth over fear, and participation over apathy.

The responsibility to guard our freedoms now rests with us.

Celebrating the dedication, creativity, and hard work of our amazing IMS Interns from the Bachelor of Arts in Communication program! 🎓✨

The Instructional Media Services proudly recognizes our outstanding interns for their meaningful contributions throughout their internship journey. From assisting in multimedia productions and documentation to supporting creative and technical operations behind the scenes, your passion, professionalism, and teamwork truly made an impact.

As Communication students, you demonstrated strong technical skills, creativity, adaptability, and a genuine heart for service. You embraced every responsibility with enthusiasm, turning classroom knowledge into real-world experience and delivering outputs with excellence.

Your internship may have been an academic requirement, but the growth, initiative, and positive energy you brought to the team went far beyond expectations. We are incredibly proud of what you have accomplished and excited to see you thrive in the field of communication and media.

Congratulations once again! Your IMS family is cheering you on as you step into greater opportunities ahead. 💛🎉

Advancing digital innovation at the University of Mindanao!

From February 19–20, 2026, our librarians, staff, and IT personnel actively participated in the DSpace 9.0 Training held at the AVR 4, Library Building, UM Matina Campus.

This two-day capacity-building activity strengthened our technical expertise in repository management, digital preservation, and archiving, further enhancing the University’s institutional repository system.

We were honored to have Mr. Stephen B. Alayon, Associate Professor from West Visayas State University in La Paz, Iloilo City, and Mr. Elvi S. Nemiz, Senior Information Assistant from the Library and Databank of the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department in Iloilo City, as our resource speakers. Through their valuable insights, hands-on demonstrations, and best practices in digital archiving and repository management, our team gained deeper knowledge in ensuring long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of scholarly works.

Together, we continue to strengthen our commitment to innovation, effective archiving, and excellence in scholarly communication at the University of Mindanao.

Onward, UM!
