NORIE ADOR DIONISIO
De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde
Philippines
I am Norie and currently the Dean of Student Life of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in the Philippines. I have been part of this institution since 2006. I work in close collaboration and in partnership with the academic programs in providing for a holistic formation and Christian education of students. My task includes supervision in the areas of career and placement, student behavior, student involvement, culture and arts, residence hall, student publications, national service training program and student tutorials. Through the years, I have participated in Lasallian activities and formation program both local and international. One of which is my 2016 participation to the IALU program for Administrators. These opportunities are very helpful, insightful and it allowed me to network with various La Salle schools.
I am a graduate of Masters in Community Development in University of the Philippines-Diliman. In the past, my work experiences involved around management and administration, volunteer management, social and community development work, project development, formation, training, guidance and counseling. One of my life changing experience is my two years volunteering as a Non-formal educator teaching basic English and Match to scavenger children in one of the dumsites in Manila. As a person, I would describe myself as straightforward, organized, independent, and spontaneous. If I have the luxury of time, I enjoy travelling, watching movies, and spending time with my family.
I am happy to contribute in anyway to the Lasallian Leadership Program.
