DLSAU Vision-Mission Statement:
De La Salle Araneta University is a leading industry-aligned and globally-linked Catholic Educational Institution committed to experiential teaching and learning for the
creation of new knowledge in food, security, animal welfare and entrepreneurship towards societal transformation.
Lasallian Core Values:
The Spirit of Faith – the spirit of faith flows from a relationship of communion with the Triune God who wills to save people by drawing them into a life-giving communion with
him and with another in the Lasallian tradition, the spirit of faith is the spirit that allows one to discover God’s active presence in His word, in men and in women, in the poor, in the
nature, in history and in ourselves; judge and evaluate things in the light of the gospel.
Zeal for the integral Salvation of All – Zeal is the active expression of faith in gospel witness and service. It is oriented towards the integral salvation of persons, particularly
the poor and the excluded. Zeal is the enthusiastic and total gift of self for the sake of the mission expressed in such qualities as gratuity and generosity, creativity and fortitude,
compassion and commitment. It involves preferential concern for the poor and the vulnerable. The desire to be a greater service to others conditions the quest for excellence and
continuous self- improvement.
Communion in Mission, Mission as Communion – Communion recalls the dynamic of association by which the first Brothers bonded together for the sake of
the particular mission entrusted to them by God. Communion has four dimensions. As a relationship with God, it is the source of all mission and ministry; as a way of
accomplishing mission, it suggests the solidarity and collaboration that comes from sharing one vision, one spirit and one mission; as a way of relating to others, it
suggests openness to all persons and desire to be brother and sister to all especially those in need; as a goal of mission, it suggests the unity that comes through
reconciliation between God, human beings and creation.
COLLEGE VISION:

management skills, touching their hearts to become socially responsible in all activities as Christians, and transforming their lives into a decent existence that is committed to helping
