Davao City via Zoom – In preparation for the 2nd Regional Industry-Government-Academe Forum on Curriculum Review for Criminal Justice Programs, the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office XI (CHED RO XI), the Council of Deans and Program Heads for Criminal Justice Education Region XI (CODPHCJE XI), and the University of Mindanao – College of Criminal Justice Education (UM-CCJE) convened a virtual coordination meeting to finalize arrangements for the event. 

Scheduled for August 14, 2025, and hosted by the University of Mindanao, the forum will bring together stakeholders from the criminal justice education sector, government agencies, and industry partners.
