On October 13, 2012, the Graduation of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) for Class 2011-2012 was held at the Grand Hall of the emblematic Macau Tower. The Hall was packed with the graduating students, the professors, the support staff and administration of the University. It was presided by Bishop Joseph Lai, DD, the head of the Diocese of Macao and USJ Vice-Chancellor
Nearly three hundred students from different specialties received their doctorate, master’s, Licentiate Degree from Fr. Peter Stilwell, the USJ Rector. The majors with the greatest number of graduates were: Master and Licentiate in Business Administration, Licentiate in Government Studies, Licentiate in Social Work and Licentiate in Psychology. Only one student received the doctorate, Cindia Lam who graduated with the Doctorate in Business Administration. Four students graduated with the degree of Licentiate in Christian Studies (Bachelor in Theology), the degree pursued by our students doing their institutional studies at USJ. One of them is our brother Anthony Lee Hyojun, OP, who is now pursuing a Master’s in Psychology in the same University of Saint Joseph.
The 2012 Commencement Exercises were very well organized, orderly – and elegant.
 The Graduation Mass was held the next day, October 14, 2012, at the Macau Cathedral with the USJ Rector, Fr. Peter Stilwell presiding the concelebrated Mass. It was attended mostly by Catholic graduates: about forty in number. Our Dominican students with the postulants of the Dominican Sisters provided the sacred songs for the Mass. (FGB)
