The Ascension of Jesus Christ is a significant moment in the Christian liturgical calendar, reminding us of the event when Jesus ascended to heaven 40 days after His resurrection. For Christians, this day is not only a symbol of the conclusion of Jesus’ earthly ministry but also a manifestation of the promise of His return. For students, especially those in the Communication Science Study Programme, this commemoration can serve as a moment to reflect on their primary role as agents of change in society. Through the effective and ethical use of communication, students are encouraged to inspire and motivate society by conveying constructive and positive messages.
In the current digital era, society has access to various communication channels that allow them to reach a wider audience. Their role becomes crucial in spreading positive and educational values that can inspire many people. Just like the messages left by Jesus, students can utilize their knowledge to be pioneers in disseminating messages that promote significant social, cultural, and spiritual changes.
Additionally, this commemoration also reminds us of the importance of preparation in facing challenges. Just as Jesus prepared His followers to spread His teachings without His physical presence, students of the Communication Science Study Programme must also be equipped with the skills and knowledge to navigate various dynamics and challenges in society. Through holistic and practical education, they are expected to become not only proficient communicators but also leaders who can uphold high integrity in applying the values of truth and justice in every narrative they build.
