Today is the 123rd Founders Day Anniversary of Silliman University!

Established on August 28, 1901 as Silliman Institute by Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, through Dr. David and Mrs. Laura Hibbard, Presbyterian missionaries and educators from the United States, Silliman University has witnessed over a century of God’s gifts through the lives of countless people it has touched.

This year’s Founders Celebration theme is, “Today’s Treasures, Tomorrow’s Traditions: Celebrating Silliman’s Gifts.”
So to all our alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends of the Silliman community, happy Founders Day, Sillimanians!

Happy Founders Day, our dear old Silliman!
