Student Testimonial

Mark Angelo A. Ligot

Senior Strategic Finance Analyst

Southville’s IT approach to molding my mind to have an enterprise level mentality is why I am very successful in my job today. This bleeds through the Southville Institution also because every major class that I have attended is very relevant in my job. As a student, I wasn’t able to see the bigger picture because I couldn’t see how it all fits in a corporate world. Each class was another opportunity to expand my mindset, and I was able to immediately apply the strategies and discipline I have learned from Southville directly into my current career. I am a proud Alumni of Southville and I pray for its continual growth and success because “If you want to be Amazing, You have to be Southville”.
