SDG Initiatives
A. SDG Mainstreaming Initiative : the creation of SDG Corner 2020 and launch of SDG Talk Series
To build internal capacity in advancing campaigns and programs aimed towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals, MSU-IIT continues to mainstream SDGs through a funded extension program dubbed as “MSU-IIT SDG Mainstreaming Initiative”.
The initiative aims to accelerate the university's mainstreaming of the SDGs by creating an online and offline space where SDG-related materials are made available, and SDG-related events and activities can be held. It also aims to provide MSU-IIT students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to understand and address the SDG's challenges and participate in the co-creation of learning environments and opportunities that support them.
As one of the SDG Mainstreaming initiatives in MSU-IIT, the SDG Corner 2020 in the University was established as an avenue to increase awareness of the youth about the SDG and provide opportunities to make meaningful contributions in advancing them through providing a space that serves as:
Information Hub - an open, accessible, and inviting space for students, faculty and staff, and even visitors of MSU-IIT where SDG campaign materials (books, magazines, and leaflets, etc.) are made available and SDG-related films are streamed;
Conversation Hub - a hub where SDG related topics will be discussed (formal and informal) and where ideas, opinions, and solutions regarding community and global problems confronted will be discussed, challenged, and shared; and
Networking Hub - a hub where movies, actions, plans and campaign for creating solutions to identified problems and issues, from the individual to collectives, are shared, fine-tuned, and shared for collective undertakings.
B. Establishment of WE CARE Office and WE CARE Program
The WE CARE Office is an integral unit of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs dedicated to the promotion, development and conduct of extension programs and services within and outside the immediate environs of MSU - Iligan Institute of Technology.
