SINU is pleased to announce that it will hold its 2024 Graduation Ceremony on Thursday, 22nd August, at the Maranatha Hall at Burns Creek. This momentous event will see approximately 1,000 students from various faculties proudly receiving their degrees, diplomas, and certificates in the presence of family, friends, and distinguished guests.
ย
We are deeply honoured that His Excellency, Reverend David Tiva Kapu, will be the Guest of Honour at this yearโs ceremony. His Excellencyโs presence is a testament to the significant role that SINU plays in the development of the Solomon Islands and the broader Pacific region.
This yearโs graduation ceremony is particularly special as SINU will award its first-ever Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degreeโa historic milestone that marks a new chapter in the University’s evolution. The conferral of this PhD degree is more than just a ceremonial moment; it represents the culmination of years of relentless dedication to academic excellence, rigorous research, and the pursuit of knowledge at the highest levels. It is a significant achievement not only for the recipient but also for SINU as an institution, reflecting the collective efforts of our faculty, researchers, and students who have worked tirelessly to elevate the standards of education within the University.
ย
This milestone underscores SINU’s growing capacity to make meaningful contributions to higher education, not just within the Solomon Islands, but on a global scale. It signals our readiness to engage with the international academic community, to produce research that addresses global challenges, and to nurture scholars who can lead in various fields. The awarding of this PhD is a testament to our commitment to fostering a culture of intellectual inquiry and innovation, paving the way for future generations of Solomon Islanders to pursue advanced studies and contribute to the global body of knowledge. It is an affirmation that SINU is evolving into a centre of excellence, where academic achievements are recognised and celebrated at the highest levels, and where our influence as an institution continues to expand beyond our shores.
ย
Dr. Transform Aqorau, Vice Chancellor of SINU, expressed his profound pride and deep sense of fulfilment in this remarkable achievement: โI am both pleased and humbled to witness this historic moment for our University. The 2024 Graduation Ceremony is a landmark event, not only because we are celebrating the academic success of around 1,000 students who have worked diligently to reach this point but also because we are making history by awarding our first-ever PhD degree. This milestone is far more than just a symbolic achievement; it is a powerful testament to the hard work, perseverance, and dedication of our students, faculty, and staff. Each of them has contributed to this success, and together, we have demonstrated what is possible when a community of scholars is driven by a shared vision of excellence.
ย
This accomplishment sets a new benchmark for academic standards within the Solomon Islands, showcasing our commitment to fostering an environment where rigorous academic inquiry and high-level research are not only encouraged but are now being recognised at the highest levels. It is a moment that underscores the progress we have made as an institution and the direction we are heading towardsโa future where SINU stands as a beacon of higher education and a centre of academic excellence within the region and beyond. As we confer this PhD, we are not just celebrating an individual achievement; we are celebrating the collective aspirations and future potential of the Solomon Islands National University as a leader in education and research.โ
ย
The 2024 Graduation Ceremony promises to be a memorable and uplifting event, celebrating the achievements of our graduates and the ongoing growth of SINU as a beacon of knowledge and learning in the Pacific.
