Former names
Holy Name College (1947-1963) Divine Word College of Tagbilaran (1963-2001)
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.[4]
Holy Name University was founded in June 1947 by Fr. Alphonse G. Lesage, SVD, a school in Bohol born out of the inspiration of Julio D. Rosales bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran. It was opened on July 14, 1947 as a diocesan school owned by the Diocese of Tagbilaran and operated by the Divine Word Missionaries. The school was given the name Holy Name College. In 1963, the SVD gained full ownership of the college. It was renamed Divine Word College of Tagbilaran in recognition of it being a full-fledged SVD school. From 1947 to 1970, it was run by SVD expatriate missionaries. In 1970, Leo D. Ortiz became the first Filipino president. Since then, Filipino priests have overseen its growth. On September 21, 2001, it was given full autonomy by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). On November 19, 2001, it was granted university status and its name was changed to Holy Name University.[5]
