Brief History

Involvement in development work is not new to Silliman University.  It started extension work as early as 1901, the year when it was founded.  The University was founded upon the principle of education for total human development to a Christian context, for living in a complex and changing world.  Its educational goals are community oriented.

Silliman University is one of the few universities in the Philippines, which pioneered in community development programs.  It has a vast extension program, probably the most diversified and comprehensive extension program in the Philippines today, geared to helping develop the Province of Negros Oriental and its neighboring provinces with the view of uplifting the standard of living in the rural and remote areas.

It is a kind of education, which could be translated as SERVICE TO OTHERS. The concern is expressed concretely in its broad extension program, covering almost all of the municipalities and three cities of the province of Negros Oriental. Back to top
