The Office of the University Registrar (OUR), in collaboration with the Office of Students Affairs (OSA) and the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod, embarked on another UPMin Campaign and Caravan, this time at Bukidnon National School of Home Industries (BNSHI) on June 21-22, 2023. The caravan aims to promote the university and its academic programs and to provide prospective students with information on the benefits of UP education. BNSHI has a grade 10 student population of around 700, a number of whom wish to study at UPMin. The UPMin team used the opportunity to interact with the students and share information on the academic programs, the admission requirements (UPCAT), and the scholarship opportunities in UP Mindanao. Registrar Karen Joyce Cayamanda and Pahinungod Director Michael Gatela led the campaign with the support of UPMin and BNHSI faculty and staff.
