Mission Director Jon Lindborg of the United States Agency for International Development will be in Silliman University for the induction of the USAID into the Order of Horace B. Silliman tomorrow, a press release from SU said.

USAID has been supporting Silliman in its various projects, including research works of the Institute of Environmental and Marine Sciences under the Coastal Resource Management Program of the Department of Energy, the press release said.
