But a bit first about… CENTRAL MINDANAO UNIVERSITY o A titled 3,080 hectare land grant university , state university o All its students are “ iskolars ng bayan ” – CMU has kept its tuition fees low because of the subsidy from the national government & the income from its production areas o Mandated to be an agent in nation-building by providing and doing excellent instruction , research , extension , & production o This year, it is 104 years old since it started as a 4-year industrial school

Musuan Peak or Mt. Kalayo o Landmark of CMU o One of the active volcanoes in the country (acc. to PhilVolcs) o Scary info for some people o But, for the most passionate & committed CMU constituents, it is a steadfast reminder that the fire to be of service constantly burns in our consciousness

more facts about CMU… • One of the 22 leading state Universities in the Country (CHED) • CHED-delivering institution for MS & PhD Biology and Mathematics • In terms of performance in the Licensure Examinations, CMU consistently belongs to the top 10 performing schools in the fields of Agriculture, Veterinary Medicine, Forestry, Engineering, Commerce & Accountancy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Education and Nursing. • Passing rate is always higher than the national passing percentage. • Increased student enrolment from about 4K in 1990s to >11K this year
The Birth of the University Income Generation Program (UIGP) o Originally, CMU has established the Farm Management Resources Development Program (FMRDP) to support its mandated functions: Instruction, Research, Extension and Production. o With the expanding operational needs of CMU and to augment the meager budget allocation from the government, it becomes imperative for the university to venture into income generation. Thus, the creation of the UIGP.
University Income Generation Program (UIGP) Six Divisions of the UIGP Plantation Crops Division Cereal Production and Processing Livestock, Poultry and Fisheries Forest Resources Development Division University Food and Lodging Services Special Projects
Let’s take a glance of the UIGP Products
These projects can be considered one of the potentials and powerful tools As an agent for nation-building based to impact the community in on our four mandates, we have asked terms of job generation and countless of times… additional income for CMU What more can we do?
We thought that perhaps, this is what Central Mindanao University can do… Establishment of MT. KALAYO INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL ENTERPRISE GROWTH (MKISEG)
MKISEG… • CMU hosted the First Mindanao Social Business Summit last June 4-6, 2014. • MAKISEG was launched on June 4, 2014 at Central Mindanao University
Convenors of the Social Business Summit: Gawad Kalinga, CHED, IPs, AFP, Senate, Chamber of Commerce, DTI, LGUs, Bangsamoro, etc.
MKISEG… … is perhaps how CMU can help build an active social business hub … drawing from the lessons of its Income Generating Program (IGP) & in partnership with other concerned & committed groups and individuals.
