St. Paul University-Dumaguete

St. Paul University-Dumaguete (SPUD), located on L. Rovira Road in Dumaguete, Central Visayas, has a rich history that dates back to its establishment on October 29, 1904, by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres. Invited by the Most Reverend Frederick Zadok Rooker, the Sisters arrived in Dumaguete with a mission to provide quality education, health services, and pastoral care. What began with just seven Sisters has blossomed into a vibrant community of 567 Filipino Sisters dedicated to the same mission of service and education. Initially founded as the Instituto de San Pablo, the first Catholic school in the province, SPUD has evolved over the past century to meet the diverse needs of the local and national community. Today, St. Paul University-Dumaguete is renowned for its commitment to holistic education, producing graduates who are not only academically competent but also socially responsible leaders. The university offers a wide range of programs that cater to various fields, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the challenges of the modern workforce. The institution is particularly known for its emphasis on character formation and community engagement, reflecting its foundational values of "Caritas Christi Urget Nos" (The love of Christ urges us). For those interested in the academic staff, the St. Paul University-Dumaguete teachers list showcases a dedicated group of educators who are passionate about fostering a nurturing learning environment. With over a century of service, SPUD continues to be a beacon of hope and education in the Philippines, embodying the spirit of the Sisters who first arrived on its shores.
