Invitation to Become a Course Offeror
Dear Alumni and Friends:
The Dr. Mariano C. Lao Global Studies Center (GSC) of Silliman University was launched in August 2022. The Center primarily envisions bringing Silliman to the forefront of international and online distance education. Specifically, the Center is tasked to:
- Promote globally-oriented, intra-cross-multi-inter-trans disciplinal global education and training in cyberspace blended, hybrid, and hy-flex modalities through the cyberplace.
- Offer non-curricular programs (crash courses, short courses, certificate courses) for knowledge acquisition, skills development, master classes, and life-long learning through technology-oriented flexible learning modalities.
- Provide ICT-enabled learning strategies to other centers & institutes in the university in extending and/or strengthening their programs
- Collaborate with other international professional & research organizations for global learning opportunities
The Center is an opportunity for the university to establish a new cohort of clients in cyberspace, including alumni, retirees, professionals, and other interested learners in Dumaguete or anywhere in the world. It is a “new business” for Silliman, different from SU’s regular “residential” learning program. However, it complements each other as an “income center” for Silliman. Please see the attached brochure about the Center.
In view thereof, may we invite you as Course Offeror of the Center? A course offering refers to non-curricular programs (including but not limited to seminars, lectures, crash courses, short courses, certificate courses, master classes, and creative performance) for knowledge acquisition, skills development, and life-long learning through a technology-oriented flexible learning modality.
Your expertise and commitment to Silliman’s quality education will significantly help in the success of this new endeavor.
Thank you very much.
