North Island College is hosting the 2025 Postsecondary International Network Leadership Summit this week, welcoming post-secondary leaders from around the world to Vancouver Island.

PIN is a global alliance of polytechnic, community-technical and post-secondary institutions committed to addressing key challenges in higher education through collaboration, innovation and the sharing of best practices.

NIC’s Comox Valley and Campbell River campuses will host around 30 international leaders for sessions exploring Indigenization in post-secondary education, the impacts of artificial intelligence on the sector, financial sustainability and approaches to capacity and engagement.

NIC President and CEO Lisa Domae says hosting the summit gives them the opportunity to share the college’s journey in areas such as Indigenization and innovation, while learning from the expertise and perspectives of their international partners.

The Postsecondary International Network began as a North American initiative and has since expanded worldwide, with member institutions from across the globe.

PIN provides a platform for sharing resources, innovative practices and expertise while identifying and addressing global challenges in post-secondary education.

Past international conferences have taken place in Korea, Bahrain and other host countries.
