For their generosity and support to Silliman University, five individuals and a Foundation were inducted into the Order of Horace Brinsmade Silliman in a special ceremony on 25 August 2009 at the historic Silliman Hall.
The inductees are friends of the University who have supported infrastructure developments on campus, the enhancement of research and library resources, and the widening of the University's scholarship base.
They are: Dr. Romeo A. Ariniego, Mr. Fred Dael and corporate associates, Mr. William Barry Thompson, Mrs. Olivia Villaflores Yanson, Col. Roman T. Yap (posthumous), and the Angelo King Foundation, Inc.
The Order of Horace Brinsmade Silliman is a prestigious recognition conferred upon individuals, families and organizations whose gifts and donations with a value of at least P1 million continue to help realize the University's mission of providing better opportunities to its students and the members of both Silliman and the larger community of Dumaguete, toward building competence, character and faith.
