As part of the week-long festivities commemorating EVSU’s 119th Founding Anniversary, the administration successfully held a series of “Harampang” meetings with the president. These sessions are strategic, face-to-face initiative designed to foster open dialogue, transparency, and collaborative governance across the university community.
The first Harampang was held on February 23 at the Graduate School Function Hall, where University President Dr. Dennis C. de Paz met with student leaders and representatives. Discussions provided an open floor for students to voice pressing academic and campus-related concerns directly to the university’s top leadership. During the dialogue, Dr. de Paz emphasized the administration’s unwavering commitment to the student body, assuring attendees that the university is actively prioritizing student welfare and holistic development. The event reinforced the administration’s dedication to participatory governance, ensuring that student feedback remains a vital component in enhancing campus services and the overall student experience.
The following Harampang session was held on February 24 at the Miguel Romualdez Memorial Auditorium, bringing together administrative officials, faculty members, and non-teaching personnel. This forum served as a critical platform for discussing institutional updates, addressing staff concerns, and aligning the workforce on shared aspirations for the university’s future. By facilitating this direct interaction, the leadership underscored its commitment to transparency and unity among its personnel, highlighting that a cohesive workforce is essential to fulfilling EVSU’s broader academic and service-oriented mission.
The regularly conducted Harampang meetings are a hallmark of EVSU’s proactive approach towards management. Prioritizing direct engagement with students and employees lays a strong foundation for continued growth and institutional excellence. As the university looks toward the future, the success of the Harampang sessions demonstrates a culture where every voice matters and where the spirit of collaboration remains the primary driver of development.
