Divine Word University (DWU) in Madang is preparing for its yearly commencement celebration in spite of several obstacles, including as power outages, fuel shortages, and water shortages. Graduates, parents, and guardians have been reassured by President Father Philip Gibbs that the event, scheduled for March 8 at the St. John Paul Hall on the DWU campus, would still go forward as scheduled. Despite the challenges, the institution has taken pre-emptive steps to guarantee that the event would go down without a hitch. Plans have been made to handle worries about fuel and water shortages, and backup generators are in place to minimise any inconveniences caused by power outages. The school is especially worried about potential effects on pupils from nearby provinces, especially those who depend on flights. The national airline, Air Niugini, is now experiencing fuel shortages, which may have an impact on graduating students' travel schedules. Father Gibbs has guaranteed, meanwhile that plans have been made for pupils who will not be able to get at the event in time. Graduates who are unable to attend may choose to do so in absentia, in which case their certificates will be mailed to their specified mailing addresses. The university is still dedicated to giving its students an unforgettable graduation experience, despite the obstacles. Father Gibbs underlined that the school is equipped to handle the ceremony and that arrangements are already under way. In order to help resolve the situation in time for the graduation, he also urged authorities, including the PNG Water Board and PNG Power Limited, to step in. 863 students will graduate from DWU in total, including 155 students from the Flexible Learning Centre (FLC) in Port Moresby and 708 grads from Madang. Given the current situation, DWU's resolve to hold the graduation ceremony on schedule demonstrates its fortitude and dedication to celebrating the accomplishments of its students. The institution is committed to making sure that this momentous occasion is marked in a meaningful manner.
