Eucon Holds First
College Graduation Ceremony
MAY 6, 2006 -
Eucon International College marked an historic event in its
ministry by conducting its first commencement ceremony.
The event also marked the first graduation for a private
Christian college in the Commonwelath of the Northern Mariana
Islands (CNMI).
The two women in
the first graduating class, Selena (Hai Lan) Li and Esther (Hua
Ping) Shan, completed four years of study at Eucon to earn bachelor
of science degrees in education. "God's grace upheld them," reports
Eucon president Christian Wei. "Both women came to our college
without knowing any English, but now they are both fluent
in English."
The CNMI governor planned to attend the commencement
but, when a last-minute conflict arose, the governor's press
secretary came and delivered a message of congratulations and
support. The commencement speaker was Rev. Mark Vowels, Director
for the Office of Missions at Bob Jones University in
Greenville, South Carolina. He challenged the graduates and audience
with his message that "Jesus Never Fails."
