The Ateneo de Zamboanga University has celebrated its Centenary year and now forges ahead to the future guided by a new vision and mision that is responsive to the challenges of the time. To commemmorate the legacy of intellectual and social leadership this Jesuit University in Western Mindanao has established, it launched “Pro Deo Et Patria: 100 Years of Ateneo de Zamboanga”, the centennial coffee table book.
Written by ADZU scholars, Pro Deo et Patria: 100 Years of Ateneo de Zamboanga, 1912-2012 traces the history of Ateneo de Zamboanga, from its humble beginnings as a small parochial school in 1912 through its postwar rebuilding and its development into a University. It is the story of an institution that has been faithful to its mission as a Jesuit and Catholic University in Western Midnanao, intent on transforming lives in the community as fortunes ebb and flow over time.
This 200-page coffee table book is filled with rare photographs of events, places, and people that have shaped the Ateneo de Zamboanga University into the institution it is today. It is a celebration of 100 years of ADZU’s history and tradition of Excellence, Spirituality, and Citizenship.
