Brief History

On February 19, 1998, two dignitaries met to sign the Memorandum of Agreement establishing the American Studies Resource Center (ASRC). Greta N. Morris, Counselor for Public Affairs, United States Information Service, American Embassy, Manila and Emily M. Marohombsar, Former President, Mindanao State University-Main, Marawi City agreed to co-sponsor the establishment of American Studies Resource Center in Marawi City to be hosted by the Mindanao State University-Main.

The Center was formally opened on July 20, 1998, with an initial collection of 200 titles both print and non-print information sources on a wide range of topics related to American life and culture with Ambassador Thomas C. Hubbard as a guest. Today, it is now known as the American Corner—a learning partnership between the American Embassy and the University.
