AN OFFICIAL of Silliman University has been chosen to participate in the 2021-2022 United Board Fellows Program, a leadership development program for mid-career faculty and administrators from Asian colleges and universities.

Dr. Giovanni Macahig, SU Registrar and Admissions officer, will join 28 other educators from 27 higher education institutions in Asia who will undergo a one-year training to be led by Singapore Management University starting in July 2021.

Macahig said he plans to enhance his leadership and educational management skills.

Under the program, the fellows will engage in activities designed to build their leadership skills; give them exposure to best practices in education, management, and finance and deepen their commitment to whole-person education.

It also aims to develop dynamic leaders who will advance whole-person education within their home institutions.

SU is a partner institution of the UB, a New York-based nonprofit organization with an office in Hong Kong that supports institutions in Asia through its programs and grants to improve the quality of higher education.
