Night College

The foundation of the DLSU-D Night College is deeply rooted in the revolutionary vision of St. John Baptist de La Salle. In 17th-century France, St. La Salle challenged the elite-driven education system by establishing schools that taught in the common vernacular—making quality learning accessible to poor and working-class children who had long been excluded from formal education. This pioneering belief—that education should be inclusive and transformative regardless of social or financial status—continues to drive the mission of the Night College today. Originally known as the Free Evening Class Scholarship Program under the College of Business, the Night College began as an immediate response to the needs of University employees when the La Salle Brothers took over the former Emilio Aguinaldo College. Under the leadership of the late Br. Andrew Gonzalez, FSC, the program was created to help employees who worked during the day and attended classes in the evening to complete their college degrees. Over time, the program expanded its reach to include indigent youth from nearby communities and partner institutions. It also broadened its academic offerings beyond business programs to courses from various colleges across the University. Today, the Night College operates under the Chief Lasallian Mission Office, with overall guidance from Mr. Jose Ritche C. Bongcaron. Its day-to-day operations are managed by Director Dr. Mara U. Salibay, who ensures the program remains faithful to its core purpose: providing free college education to working students in Cavite.
