The University Seal
The university seal is indicative of who we believe we are and what we want to be as a community in La Salle University.
Central to LA SALLE UNIVERSITY’s vision as a tertiary educational institution as enshrined on the “Mindanao shield of GREEN and WHITE combined with the Lasallian colors of BLUE and GOLD” are the trilogy of functions:
- TEACHING as shown in the ever burning torch, symbolizing the “human and Christian education of the youth.”
- RESEARCH as shown in the illuminating STAR OF FAITH symbolizing the search and generation of new knowledge, and
- EXTENSION, as shown by the image of the overpowering mighty DOVE symbolizing the liberating influence of the Holy Spirit leading the institution towards becoming a resource at the service of GOD and nation, especially in Ozamiz City where the institution is located.
The school’s mission over the years, from its early foundation in 1929 to 1994 when the De La Salle Brothers took over to 2006 when it was granted university status has always been YOUTH for EXCELLENCE and SERVICE.
