The College of Asian and Islamic Studies of Western Mindanao State University was fortunate this morning, September 11, 2026 to receive Dr. Nassef M. Adiong the Director of Policy Research and Legal Services of the Bangsamoro Parliament. His visit to the College has opened an opportunity for the CAIS faculty members to embrace innovative approaches to designing a curriculum that is timely, relevant, and responsive to the call of the times.
As an expert in Islamic Studies, Director Adiong suggested strategies to the Islamic Studies faculty members for crafting an Islamic Studies program that ensures relevance and employability for its graduates. This innovative approach can attract stakeholders, especially students, to come to CAIS and take advantage of the opportunities that the program would offer.
Moreover, Dr. Nassef M. Adiong has committed to facilitating strategic planning for faculty members and connecting them to possible partner institutions, both locally and abroad, for academic engagements that include research collaboration, student scholarships, and faculty training and development.
The College of Asian and Islamic Studies is thankful to Director Adiong and looks forward to future engagements with his office.
