The Ateneo de Zamboanga University (Filipino: Pamantasang Ateneo de Zamboanga), also referred to by its acronym AdZU, is a private
History
The Ateneo de Zamboanga University began as a parochial, Jesuit-run, boys-only elementary school named Escuela Catolica in 1912.
On July 7, 2017, the historic 67-year-old Brebeuf Gymnasium was burnt to the ground;[6] the Sauras, Kostka, and Gonzaga Halls were also damaged.[7] The Zamboanga City government estimated that the cost of the damages amounted to ₱5 million.[8]
On December 8, 2018, the Faustino W. Saavedra Building (FWS Building) was inaugurated in the Fr. Eusebio G. Salvador, S.J. Campus. It houses the Senior High School Unit, along with the adjacent Kostka Building.[9]
Academics
Admissions
AdZU operates with a selective admissions policy.
Student council
The Sanggunian ng mga Mag-aaral ng Ateneo de Zamboanga University (SMADZU) was the college unit's student government before 2009. Currently in its place is El Consejo Atenista, which was created with the objective of being a more representative student government.
The El Consejo Atenista, as AdZU's official student government, engages with other Jesuit universities' student councils in the annual Buklod Atenista National Leaders' Summit.[13] They are also active in community initiatives, such as organizing relief operations during the 2013 Zamboanga City Siege[14] and protesting against the implementation of mandatory Reserve Officers' Training Corps in the Philippines.[15]
Campuses
AdZU operates three campuses.
- Fr. Eusebio G. Salvador, S.J. (Main) Campus. The main campus (4.3 hectares) on La Purisima Street, named for Fr. Eusebio Salvador, S.J., houses the undergraduate and graduate schools and the Senior High School unit.
- Fr. William H. Kreutz, S.J. Campus. The second campus (8.3 hectares) in Tumaga, which is outside Zamboanga Cityproper, named for Fr. William Kreutz, S.J., is home to the Junior High School and Grade School units.
- Lantaka Campus. The Ateneo de Zamboanga University Lantaka Campus is situated along the coastline of Zamboanga City and was previously a resort hotel. This campus will be used as a place for students' and staff's retreats, recollections, meetings, seminars and conferences.better source needed]
