In 2009, Divine Word University ( DWU) began a ritual, a rite of passage for students who had sucessfully completed their studies. The ritual is referred to as the 'missioning'. It will not doubt become part of the DWU tradition in years to come. Students each recieve a small cross. It symbolizes the type of education they have received which is encapsulated in DWU's philosophy of education. The wearing of the cross is a reminder of the obligation they have to utilize their education for disguished service to the society of PNG.
This ceremony is unique to DWU. It is gaining in popularity as parents, guardians and other benefactors are attending in larger numbers. Tomorrow, Friday 8 October, 2010, is the second ceremony. The campus is now abuzz with visitors. I hope to post some pictures following the ceremony.
