Graduation day

Tuesday was DCU graduation. Members of the very first Theological English class I taught here at DCU were among the graduates, as were many members of our prayer group, so we had a greater connection to the grads than last year. Graduation festivities include a big meal in the cafeteria for all who attend graduation, and an evening party in which the grads break out their formal wear. This year a drama was part of the production – well done, and fun to see our co-workers and friends show their acting talent. Now begins my full-time work with the Summer English program. Saturday is my last community English class, then I can spend all my time on summer program plans. So far we have a good team lined up – 27 native English speakers joining us from the States, Australia, Canada and Great Britain. (We could still use more if anyone’s interested!). We’re hoping for 200 total students during our intensive summer session, which runs throughout the month of July.
