De La Salle University–Dasmariñas (DLSU-D) has been recognized as an Associate Member of the ASEAN University Network–Health Promotion Network (AUN-HPN), a regional alliance that advances health promotion in higher education institutions across Southeast Asia.
Membership affirms the University’s commitment to fostering a campus culture that prioritizes physical, mental, social, and environmental well-being through education, research, leadership, and policy development.
A central initiative of AUN-HPN is the Healthy University Rating System (HURS), a benchmarking tool that evaluates institutions across 22 priority areas using a 1,000-point scale converted into a 1–5-star rating. Participation enables DLSU-D to assess institutional performance, strengthen health-related programs, and align campus practices with regional and international standards.
Recognition aligns with the University’s support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
Through active engagement in AUN-HPN and HURS, DLSU-D reinforces its commitment to building a healthy, sustainable, and globally connected academic community.
