Silliman University is really the most cultured university in the Southern Philippines when it comes to appreciation for the culture and the arts.

It is a haven of artist's, writers, painters, sculptors, photographers, film directors, and thespians.

Sillimanians not only immerse themselves with academic knowledge but they also take time for cultural education which is important in this sophisticated and globally-competitive world.

Cheers to SILLIMAN!

Silliman Nursing Dean leads Philippine Health Delegation to Saudi Arabia

Dr. Ma. Teresita S. Sinda, current Dean of the Graduate School of Silliman University, was one of ten deans from different schools in the Philippines invited to have a meeting with the Deputy Health Secretary of Saudi Arabia.

When she joined the delegation in May, Dr. Sinda was still Dean of the College of Nursing (SUCN). She was joined by SUCN clinical coordinator Prof. Evalyn Abalos.

The inclusion of Dr. Sinda and Prof. Abalos recognized the quality of nursing education and training that Silliman offers. Part of the discussion was for the institutions represented in the meeting with Saudi Arabia's Deputy Health Secretary Ali Al-Qahtani and other officials from the Ministry of Health to develop a training program for Filipino nurses.

Silliman is positioned to offer the training program which is aimed at enhancing the competencies of Filipino nurses relative to the needs and the primary healthcare facilities in the Middle East. Completion of the program will be treated as an additional qualification to merit higher pay.

The visit of the Philippine delegation was organized by the Philippine embassy in Saudi Arabia headed by Ambassador Antonio Villamor. Ambassdor Villamor is a member of the Board of Trustees of Silliman University.
