The College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) Men’s Basketball Team delivered an impressive performance during the University of the Cordilleras Intramurals, finishing as 1st Runner-Up in this year’s highly competitive tournament. Demonstrating discipline, teamwork, and resilience, the team stood out not only for their skill on the court but also for their commitment to fair play and camaraderie.

Their achievement directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), particularly Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), by promoting physical fitness and healthy competition among students. It also aligns with Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions (SDG 16), as the team embodied integrity, respect for rules, and peaceful engagement—core principles essential in sports and in the criminal justice profession.
