MSEUF identifies and engages local stakeholders through structured partnerships and public processes

How MSEUF identifies stakeholders

• Alumni and affinity groups. The University recognizes alumni organizations as key partners and keeps a formal channel for philanthropic engagement. In June 2024, the Kappa Sigma Beta Fraternity and Kappa Delta Omega Sorority identified financially needy students as beneficiaries and donated ₱60,000 to the University Scholarship Program through a documented handover at the Alumni Center, an example of stakeholder targeting tied to an institutional fund. 
• Government and public-sector bodies. Offices such as OVPER and OSEJPAR serve as institutional liaisons for local-government dialogue, enabling MSEUF to match programs with city priorities. On May 14, 2024, these offices formally joined the Lucena City Sangguniang Panlungsod public hearing on an achievers’ recognition ordinance, an official venue where stakeholders are named, invited, and heard. 
• Civil society and social-protection networks. MSEUF coordinates with DSWD and provincial CSO partners to identify vulnerable groups (e.g., 4Ps households and children). In September 2024, the University took part in the Provincial CSO–Academe Partners Meeting, and separately amplified DSWD’s Search for Exemplary 4Ps Children—both with written guidelines and convening notes that define participants, roles, and criteria. 

 

How MSEUF engages stakeholders

• Scholarship engagement workflow. Alumni groups coordinate with University units to route donations to the Scholarship Program; amounts, purpose, and date are recorded and published, showing a repeatable, transparent process for external partners who wish to support access to education. 
• City policy engagement. For the Lucena public hearing, MSEUF delegated named offices (OVPER, OSEJPAR), attended the Sangguniang session chaired by city councilors, and entered the proceedings into public record—following government-defined procedures that open a standing channel for future input. 
• CSO–Academe coordination. The CSO–Academe Partners Meeting set an agenda to align services for 4Ps families and plan next collaborations—an engagement model with stated objectives and follow-through tasks for each stakeholder. 
• Community relief operations. The EU Student Nurses Association, with MSEUF employees, organized a documented relief distribution for Typhoon Kristine victims in Quezon. The published report specifies the beneficiary group, date, and activity, elements of a standard operating procedure for emergency outreach. 
• Values-based leadership partnerships. Student leaders from the College of Criminal Justice and Criminology joined the Christians for Nation-Building (C4NB) weekly series to strengthen civic responsibility and ethical leadership—an externally facilitated program that MSEUF formally announced and scheduled, demonstrating a structured approach to CSO engagement for student formation. 
  
  

How MSEUF's effots meets SDG 16

SDG 16 asks institutions to identify local stakeholders and to engage them via written policies or procedures. MSEUF has:

1. designated liaison offices and public documentation for city hearings (OVPER/OSEJPAR);
2. recurring CSO–Academe convenings with DSWD and provincial partners;
3. published workflows for alumni-funded scholarships; and
4. documented student- and employee-led community programs (relief, leadership formation). Collectively, these provide evidence of systematic identification and engagement across alumni, government, CSOs, and community beneficiaries. 

Aligned with MSEUF’s values—Mindfulness, Service, Excellence, Unity, Fortitude—these practices ensure local voices are recognized, invited, and integrated into University action, strengthening peace, justice, and strong institutions in Lucena and the wider Quezon community.
