This document, the 2006 Portal, serves as a primary record of Silliman University during its 105th year of operation. Written in the third person, the yearbook captures the university's institutional development as it reached the middle of its first decade in the 21st century. Based in the "City of Gentle People," Dumaguete City, the 2006 volume documents a period where the university continued to solidify its reputation as a leading center for Christian higher education in Asia. The 2006 edition is historically significant for its documentation of the "Silliman Spirit" during a time of global transition. It captures the academic achievements of the graduating class of 2006, faculty milestones, and the vibrant campus culture that revolves around landmarks like the Silliman Hall and the Amphitheater. The yearbook preserves the stories of student activism, cultural performances, and spiritual growth, illustrating the university's enduring commitment to its motto, Via, Veritas, Vita (The Way, The Truth, and The Life), in a rapidly modernizing world.
