SLU is a private institution established by CICM, a Belgian Roman Catholic missionary congregation in 1911. It has since become a major pillar of education and is regarded one of the country’s respected and leading educational institutions.
SLU is the largest university north of Manila and a top center of academic excellence thus playing a major role in making the Cordillera a prime education center in the North. (PIA / by Susan Aro)
