Commissioning of Student Leaders

Wednesday the PIU student leaders finished their training and the faculty and staff joined them for a celebratory breakfast and commissioning service. This was the same student group we met with on Monday for lunch. We had an enjoyable time of worship and hearing from the students’ their vision and hopes for the upcoming semester. We then had a time of prayer over the student leaders and spent some time praying through the dorm. All this was in preparation for the students scheduled to come in on Thursday….

Here are the Vision and Mission statements drawn up the student council and the resident assistants for their ministries this year:

STUCO Vision Statement: STUCO exists to be servant leaders by being the representation for students to the administration with concerns and issues as well as encouraging community where students are being transformed through and by building relationships within Pacific Islands University community and Guam community (1 Timothy 4:12).

STUCO Mission Statement: STUCO’s mission is to provide servant leaders in order to foster community by upholding servant hearts to stimulate relationship building (inside and outside of the classroom), illustrate unity as well as Christian growth, and planning student-led activities; to live and work together in love, peace and unity; to protect and strive to honor the Triune God, and to achieve our goal of fostering community to show the love of Christ throughout PIU and Guam.

RA Vision Statement: As an Extension of the Student Life team, we, the RAs, exist to provide accountability, relationship building, spiritual and physical assistance and model servant leadership.

RA Mission Statement: The RAs mission is to build a trustful community through open and honest communication, and willingness of availability to other needs, having patience in dealing with situations within ourselves and others and stepping forward in a position of leading with humility in the dorms, the classroom and everywhere else.
