University
of Visayas |
The University of the Visayas was founded by the late Don Vicente A. Gullas
in 1919 as the Visayan Institute in Cebu City. The Second World War razed to
the ground the physical facilities of the Visayan Institute at its original site.
Undaunted by adversities, Don Vicente reopened classes in Argao, Cebu in
1946. A year later the Visayan Institute moved back to its present site in
Colon Street, Cebu City.
As early as it’s founding, the Visayan Institute had pioneered in educational
innovations to provide equal educational opportunities for those who have
the capability and the desire for improving themselves. It was the first to
conduct night school class for working students in Cebu City in the 1940's.
The “study now pay later plan” had been a practice at the Visayan Institute
long before it was adopted by the Department of Education, Culture and
Sports (DECS) in the 1980's.
In 1948, the Visayan Institute was awarded a University status, the first to
become a University in Cebu and was renamed the University of the
Visayas. Since then the expansion in its baccalaureate and postgraduate
course offerings and in its physical facilities has been phenomenal. From
an initial enrollment of 37 students the Visayan Institute evolved into a
University with an enrollment of 20,000 distributed throughout its various
campuses. Today, its alumni have distinguished themselves in government
service and public administration, and in the professions of medicine,
nursing, pharmacy, law, engineering, architecture, criminology, maritime and
nautical, computer studies as well as in sports and the arts. |

The Gullas College of Medicine of the University of the Visayas formally
opened its doors in 1977 under permit from the Ministry of Education,
Culture and Sports in response to the call for more physicians to participate
in the medical health care delivery in our country. In effect, the establishment
of the College is a dedication to the memory of the late Don Vicente Gullas.
The Gullas College of Medicine is located in Banilad, Mandaue City, Cebu
in an atmosphere that is most conductive to learning –quiet, well outside city
limits yet accessible by all means of land transportation, dormitories
surround the school premises
Why University of the Visayas?
The University of the Visayas has been guided by the motto envisioned by
the Founder, which is now inscribed in the University seal: “Amor, Servitium,
Humanitas” (Love and Service to Humanity). At the onset of the Third
Millennium, the incumbent UV President, Atty. Eduardo R. Gullas, added a
new core value to the motto which now reads: “Love, Leadership and Service
to Humanity.”
