Preparing and Hoping

The Founders Day celebration is starting to pick up as we move towards the next two weeks when most activities take place and the biggest number of alumni and guests return home. Many have expressed nostalgia over the mention of Silliman. It brings back memories of old campus days when what have become of them now were yet dreams. In the midst of our busy preparations, we join our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends in looking forward to rekindling ties, witnessing exchanges of handshakes, warm embraces and simple greetings. We can only do so much to make the 109th Founders Day a celebration of friendship and a living testament to a Christian faith. At the end of the day, it is only God that can spell success and fulfillment for all of us. On behalf of the Board of Trustees and all of us in the University, I continue to invite you to join us this Founders Day.
