    The Update (A Blessed and Happy Easter to all May the Resurrection of Christ Shine in Your Lives)
    (Tangaza University College, 2017-04) Tangaza University College
    T his month we will be celebrating the Paschal Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter), the holiest and most important days of the church’s calendar. During these days, Tangaza takes some “sabbath” time, away from its usual business, in order to reflect and enter more deeply into the mystery of God’s merciful love for us in Christ. We our reminded that our call to “transform lives” is not just about helping people get a better degree or a high-paying job, but about helping all of us enter more deeply into the transformative power of the resurrection. Like Jesus, each of us individually and Tangaza as a whole must be constantly undergoing the “dying and rising” process that leads to new life. As announced at our recent Tangaza Day celebra- tions (March 24), Dr. Beatrice Churu and Dr. Andrew Lujuo have finished their terms as Deputy Principal Academic and Deputy Principal Student Life. We are deeply grateful for their extraordinary service, and we hope that they will continue their contribution to Tangaza in other ways as we move forward. Meanwhile, Fr. Selvam Sahaya, SDB, has been named as incoming “Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic and Student Affairs”, while Fr. Daniel Karau, as the college chaplain, will assume many of Dr. Lujuo’s former duties as we await some restructuring of the Student Life Office. We wish them both great success, and we promise them our full support. The Governing Council also hopes to make progress very soon on filling the positions of Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor Administration and Finance, as well as choosing the Dean of the School of Arts and Social Sciences All of these developments are a sign of our increasing readiness for a university charter. We know there are even more changes ahead, and some may be very difficult, but we have confidence in the One who leads us. At Tangaza Day we distributed a card with a “Prayer for Tangaza”. We hope that you will use it often, and continue to keep Tangaza in your prayers, that we may follow the Lord wherever he is leading us.
