History
West Negros College was founded in 1948 by three Baptist women leaders - Luciana Aritao, Teresa Padilla and Rosario Remitio. They believed that the school would fulfill their dream of Filipinos embracing Christian ideals and tenets. Leodegario Natividad Agustin became the school President in the 1970s; he provided the impetus, despite financial odds, to make West Negros College a successful academic community.
On February 11, 2008, the Commission on Higher Education found West Negros College to be in full compliance of their requirements and granted West Negros College status as a university.
In April 2013, STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc. announced in a disclosure that they had signed a memorandum of agreement with West Negros University for the acquisition of a controlling interest in the school.[1][2]
In 2015, STI College in nearby Lacson Street transferred all of its operations to the newly renovated campus of West Negros University in Burgos Street and completely changed the institution's name to STI West Negros University.
Events
The school's gymnasium served as a competition venue for indoor volleyball in the 2005 Southeast Asian Games.
