Six faculty members of Silliman University in Dumaguete City, among them StarLife columnist Ian Casocot, are recipients of the 2009-2010 Silliman North America Alumni Fund this year.

The tertiary level awardees are Casocot (English Department, College of Arts and Sciences), Prof. Janice Foster (College of Computer Studies), Prof. Jean Nalam (Divinity School) and Dinisio Piñero (College of Education). McDiery Concepcion and Prof. Janet Agir are this year’s high school and tertiary level awardees, respectively.

Recepients are chosen on the basis of their teaching ability as well as activities that demonstrate moral character and Christian witness, and involvement in the enrichment of spiritual life on campus, the press release from SU said.

Started in 1996, the SNAAF Award is intended to honor outstanding instructors who have manifested Christian service and maintained high quality teaching performance. It is sponsored by the alumni associations in North America, the press release added.
