Pacific Islands University, a U.S. accredited institution located in Mangilao, Guam, recently renewed its memorandum of understanding with Palau Community College. The MOU outlines the working relationship between the two institutions, allowing a more seamless cross enrollment and/or transfer for PIU and PCC students. This agreement follows the recent signing of three other MOUs, one with Guam Community College, New Hope Christian College in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Faithwalk Christian College in Tol, Chuuk, FSM.

PIU president Dr. David Owen said, “PIU has a long relationship with PCC that has been beneficial to both schools. We are happy to continue partnering with PCC in helping young people meet their educational goals.”

PCC president Dr. Patrick Tellei shares that he is “looking forward to helping more people through this renewed relationship between our institutions.”

The MOU was signed on Friday, June 27, 2014, in the Palau Community College boardroom by Owen, Tellei, and PCC dean of Academic Affairs Robert Ramarui. Also present at the signing were PIU Administrative VP Niño Pate, PIU Executive Assistant Samantha Owen, and PIU Board Chairman Rev. Howard Merrell. PIU Provost Dr. Sam Mabini signed the MOU upon the group’s return to Guam this week. (PIU)
