Dear friends and fellow Augustinians, welcome to the premier Catholic University of San Agustin, Iloilo City.
Together, we consistently embark on an academic cycle grounded in the institutional vision-mission pathway. Guided by the University’s strategy map, maSanAg 2028, the Augustinian educative community welcomes everyone to chart their individual and collective journeys of learning, growth, and communion. Every undertaking begins with the human person and recognizes where each person is in the present so that we may realize our shared long-term vision in realizing our highest potential – the Augustinian transformative education and training. As we set our sights on our desired future state, the university community clearly acknowledges the conditions of the moment.
Our priority agenda aligns with and supports the building up of the scaffolds of knowledge, love, and unity within the organization and beyond its confines. The building up of a culture marked by excellence, innovation, and collaboration takes full precedence in the organizational planning; a legacy of quality education holds a principal task to work on continuously and sustainably. Every community member serves as an active player and contributor to the overall strategic and developmental goals of the university.
The community embraces the journey together in faith, truth, and service to its valued stakeholders, partners, and collaborators. Following the spirituality and teachings of Saint Augustine, formation programs and activities underscore the fundamental mantra, “we are one mind, one heart, and one San Agustin.” Guided with firmness and perseverance, we stay steadfast in our pledge of virtue and science – the pedagogy of learning and sharing – through the integral human formation project, and promotion of societal progress and development that is inclusive, fair, and dignified.
In the spirit of Augustinian fraternity and friendship, the university community reiterates its vowed commitment to uphold the institutional purpose carved over more than a century, as a Catholic, Augustinian, and Philippine higher education institution complemented by passionate and dedicated administrative, supervisory, academic and support services staff, and with partners – all working intensely toward globally competitive and recognized education, training, and formation. Our commitment empowers us to show up, step in, and rise to the challenges along the route for we are Augustinians and we are one community. Together we move forward on the course line leading to the future; we are on the way to God. With the interior Teacher and the heavenly intercessors may the university undertakings and its stakeholders yield the projected and impactful outcomes. Viva San Agustin!
