About
The Holy Name University (HNU) is a private Catholic research university run by the Philippine Southern Province of the Society of the Divine Word in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines. It was founded by Fr. Alphonse G. Lesage, SVD a Divine Word Missionary in 1947. In 2001, the institution was granted university status by the Commission on Higher Education. The school originally had two campuses in Tagbilaran City: the main building (also called Lesage Campus) at the corner of Lesage and Gallares streets and the Janssen Heights Campus in Dampas district. After the October 2013 7.2 magnitude earthquake, the whole operation of the university has been transferred to the Janssen Heights Campus due to the structural damage suffered by the Lesage Campus main building.
