Seven staff members from the University of Southern Mindanao’s Institute of Sports, Physical Education, and Recreation (USM-ISPEAR) visited Benguet State University’s College of Human Kinetics (BSU-CHK) on July 7, 2025. Led by USM-ISPEAR Dean Norge D. Martinez, the team aimed to gain insights into the practices of BSU-CHK regarding the implementation of the Bachelor of Physical Education and Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Sciences programs.

The visitors were welcomed by CHK staff members, headed by Dean Marlon S. Tabdi. The visit started with the presentation of the programs’ curriculum. A discussion followed where the visitors raised questions about the curriculum, on-the-job training programs, courses, student activities, admission policies, retention policies, and extension activities.

After the discussion, the visitors were toured to the CHK facilities. BSU accommodates benchmarking activities and field trips from schools, Local Government Units, National Line Agencies, and Non-Government Organizations with the intent to promote collaboration in various areas that may lead to multi-stakeholder partnerships in support of #SDG17.//BTayaban
