The Federal University of Education, Pankshin (FUEP), has commenced preparations for its 27th Annual Inter-Denominational Thanksgiving Service, scheduled for Sunday, December 6, 2026, as part of efforts to mobilise the University community and other stakeholders for the annual spiritual gathering.
The move followed a visit by the Publicity Sub-Committee of the Central Planning Committee to the Chairperson of the Central Planning Committee and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Professor Judith Dawulung, where members presented samples of proposed invitation cards and envelopes ahead of the commencement of publicity and sensitisation activities.
Presenting the samples on behalf of the Sub-Committee, Barr. Dr. Samuel Kwamkur informed Professor Dawulung that the committee was ready to commence publicity to ensure adequate awareness and participation in the forthcoming event.
The Thanksgiving Service, which will hold at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Chaplaincy, FUEP, is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m.
In her response, Professor Dawulung commended members of the Publicity Sub-Committee for their commitment and urged them to intensify engagement with Heads of Departments and Heads of Units to ensure maximum staff participation.
Also speaking, the Registrar of the University, Mr. Longtong Godwill Yadok, wished the committee success in its assignment, noting that its performance would reflect positively on the image and collective achievements of the University.
To facilitate contributions from invited guests and other well-wishers, Yadok suggested that an account number be included on the invitation cards and envelopes to provide recipients with a convenient means of making donations.
He also appreciated the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Noel Nenman Wannang, for approving the initiative and supporting the planning process.
The Publicity Sub-Committee is chaired by the Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations, Charles Nda Homsuk, with the President of the Students’ Union Government (SUG), Comrade Vongdip Lohkur, serving as a member.
A major highlight of the annual Thanksgiving Service is its humanitarian dimension, as proceeds from donations are channelled towards addressing the immediate needs of vulnerable groups, including less privileged persons, widows, orphans, prisoners, persons with disabilities, the sick and individuals undergoing rehabilitation.
The initiative underscores the University’s commitment to combining spiritual reflection and thanksgiving with compassion, social responsibility and support for disadvantaged members of society.
