In an era where education and personal well-being are at the forefront of challenges and opportunities, Pangasinan State University (PSU) has launched an ambitious journey towards empowerment, engagement, and excellence. PSU’s groundbreaking “3EP Program” aims to reshape the university landscape, cultivating a culture that nurtures the potential of its students, faculty and staff while championing holistic well-being.
A Vision for Transformation
The 3EP Program, officially known as “Empower, Engage, Excel,” is not just another initiative but a visionary transformational agenda. Rooted in PSU’s strategic plan and aligned with United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this program focuses on four pillars: Empowerment, Engagement, Excellence and Professionalism.
Empowerment for All
At the heart of the 3EP Program is a commitment to empower every member of the PSU community. For leaders, there are supervisory courses, leadership qualities, and coaching and mentoring skills, setting the stage for effective leadership. Faculty members benefit from comprehensive training in instruction, research and extension, thereby enhancing their contributions to academic excellence. For staff, digital literacy and customer-service delivery skills are honed, making them an even more vital part of the university’s support system.
Engaging in Holistic Well-being
The program recognizes that a culture of engagement is more than academic pursuits. A comprehensive Health and Well-being Campaign has been rolled out, promoting physical fitness, spiritual enrichment, and mental health support. Wellness Wednesdays provide a dedicated day for the PSU community to engage in activities focused on mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It’s about fostering a supportive, balanced lifestyle that goes beyond the classroom.
Awards and Recognition for Excellence
Excellence is not just celebrated; it’s actively encouraged in the 3EP Program. PSU has introduced Professional Linkage Grants to facilitate research and innovation, Employee Promotion mechanisms to reward outstanding performance and an Awards Convocation to recognize the exceptional achievements of faculty and staff. Excellence is a goal, a culture, and a source of motivation.
A Step Toward Innovation and Impact
The 3EP Program is more than a transformation within the university; it’s a step toward innovation and societal impact. With a focus on professional development, wellness and recognition, it ensures that PSU is well-equipped to contribute to the betterment of society, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals on quality education, health, and well-being, and decent work and economic growth.
Continuous Progress and Adaptation
As the 3EP Program progresses, it remains a dynamic initiative, continuously adapting to the evolving needs of the PSU community. The university is committed to creating a culture that empowers, engages, and excels.
A Brighter Future for Pangasinan State University
With the 3EP Program, Pangasinan State University sets a promising course for a brighter future. It’s a journey of transformation, empowerment, and excellence, steering the university community towards becoming a leading institution in education and holistic well-being.
