 West
Negros through the years....
|
n
educational institution which is practically synonymous
and a proud partner of Bacolod City for more than
five decades already, West Negros University is a Bacolodnon
and a Negrense enterprise through & through. Founded
in 1948 by three Baptist women leaders, WNC is situated
at Burgos Street, Bacolod City (city population of
about 487,000 as of 1997). It is a second level accredited
school by the Philippine Association of Colleges and
Universities - Commission On Accreditation (PACU-COA)
and awards degrees in associate, bachelor, master,
and doctoral levels. With the past decade’s average
of 10,000 students per semester, it graduates an average
of 1,500 students a year making a sizable contribution
to the city’s roll of young professionals in different
fields. As WNC is poised on achieving its own place
under the sun to face the challenge of the next
millennium,
it has already earned the title as... “The Community
of Achievers.”
A Brief
History
 hree
Christian women had a vision in the 1940's. As
devastation of the war was felt and seen, a sense
of hope and mission became the clear mandate for
these visionaries, Luciana Aritao, Teresa Padilla
and Rosario Remitio, to open an institution of
learning.
July 1948 signaled the beginning of West Negros
College as a co-educational institution embracing
Christian ideals and tenets. It has since gone
through decades of challenges that saw the pivotal
entry of Leodegario Natividad Agustin in the 1970's
who provided the impetus, despite financial odds,
to make West Negros College an academic community
of achievers. It continues to champion good value
for quality education. Deserving students of
meager
means have gone through the portals of their alma
mater to become successful in their chosen careers.
