The letters
CICM in the CROSS
is a Latin initial for
Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae
, or in English, Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. CICM is an international Catholic religious congregation that founded University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao in keeping with her educational mission and apostolate.
The herald of the USLT emblem blends the
SWORD
and the
SHIELD
, symbolizing the virtue of fortitude. The sword thrusts forward toward individual and community development, the goals of education.
Thus, USLT, a community of learners seeking to be leaders of human progress, provides not only an academic but also a Christian atmosphere where values are developed. This atmosphere makes learning a process of building a human person dedicated towards the service of community, country, and God—the embodiment of the USLT motto:
WISDOM BUILDS
.
The
LILY
, symbolizing the virtue of integrity, and the
CROSS
, representing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, are wielded by the shield.
The prime products of Cagayan,
CORN
and
RICE
(stalks), depict USL’s commitment to contribute to the development of the Cagayan Province and Cagayan Valley Region.
The colors
BLUE
and
WHITE,
the colors of the Blessed Virgin Mary, signify the love and life of a dedicated person close to Christ.
YELLOW
symbolizes the golden harvest of Cagayan’s prime products. The golden yellow which was seen in the old USL logo was officially adopted officially in 2015 to mark the golden jubilee of the university, symbolizing the rich harvests of USLT’s achievements through the years.
The
BULB
represents innovation and creativity, while the
COGS
symbolize collaboration, critical thinking, and practical application of knowledge. Together, they highlight the interconnected and technology-driven nature of 21st-century education.
Positioned at the center of the emblem, the
DIAMOND
symbolizes the university as a shining jewel, encapsulating decades of excellence and success. This represents USLT’s 60th founding anniversary and aligns with the theme,
“USLT @ 60: Diamond of Excellence, Jewel of Achievements.”
THE MOTTO: WISDOM BUILDS
(Sapientia Aedificat)
The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom. The University of Saint Louis, as a Catholic educational institution embodies the conviction that wisdom, borne out of genuine reverence and love for God, builds up our persons. (We have an expression “God-fearing person” which means that this person will not do anything to offend God and one’s neighbor, will not do anything against one’s own conscience.) Expressing it in a positive way, a God-fearing person does God’s will, and contributes to the well-being of the whole community. This is Wisdom in the Old Testament – Solomon’s search for the will of God, personified by Jesus of Nazareth, the fulfillment of God’s will and revelation in the context of the Covenant community.
Thus, in today’s terms, “Wisdom Builds” means that the attitude and the actions that express the obedience to God and the love and compassion toward one’s neighbors will contribute to the betterment of one’s self and one’s community. Every Louisian built in wisdom is called to become builder of the Church and Society.
University of Saint Louis
commits to work towards providing quality Catholic education to produce responsible and globally competent graduates through compliance with regulatory, statutory, and accreditation requirements and standards, and commitment to continual improvement in all its processes to achieve customer satisfaction.

Let’s all sing a song
Gay and cheerful
Bursting forth from our young
And joyous hearts.
For our life is so bright
For we study right
We choose a smile for our part.
Here we are students of St. Louis
That is why we are so proud
We’ll always stand in defense of it
For it makes us brave and fit
CHORUS:
Training our body and mind
That in this school we find
Bright future smiles on us;
Let’s be ready, thus
We’ll deserve well of our Land
Go ever hand in hand
For God and Country’s sake
this is the PLEDGE we make.
Let’s all sing a song
Gay and cheerful
Bursting forth from our young
And joyous hearts.
For our life is so bright
For we study right
We choose a smile for our part.
Here we are students of St. Louis
That is why we are so proud
We’ll always stand in defense of it
For it makes us brave and fit
O God, wellspring of goodness and blessings, we give you thanks and praise as one Louisian community. The graces You incessantly grant upon us and Your divine providence have sustained our beloved University throughout the years of mission and excellence.
Having been founded by the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we pray that You keep us committed and dedicated to our mission and identity to serve the Church and the society as we become living witnesses to the Gospel values proclaimed by Jesus. For if we are steadfast in our good and beautiful mission, our works will bring success not only to ourselves but also to those whom we are bound to love and serve.
Inspired by St. Louis our Patron Saint, who was filled with a noble spirit that stirred him to love You above all things, may we also live believing that we are born for a greater purpose and mission as we dwell in Your presence all the days of our life.
Grant all these supplications through the intercession of Mother Mary and through Christ our Lord. Amen.
