DE-RACONTEUR WRITERS’ COLLEGE FIRST GRADUATION GIST

 

DE-RACONTEUR WRITERS’ COLLEGE FIRST GRADUATION GIST

 

The first edition of De-Raconteur Writing Course kicked off on the 1^st of July and ran its course through to the 7^th of July.

 

 

 

We were supposed to say our b-y-e then as planned but projects were given to students which ran through the course of two weeks, though some people exceeded the deadline as a large percentage of them are students.

 

 

 

After submission, there was an intensive marking and correction and the scripts were returned to the owners to work on again or effect the changes as the case may be. That took more than 2 weeks again because of the school examinations of the students.

 

 

 

During the break, there were health issues and hard disks fault that further lengthened the duration of our programme. But all thanks be to the Lord God who made us start and bring to an end, the first edition of De-Raconteur Writing Course also known as DWC.

 

 

 

Our certification and award giving day was on Friday, 21^st September 2018 and it was glorious.

 

 

 

With the participants totaling 24, and the topics of discussion over 10, we all gathered together yesterday to have the award ceremony and the induction into the DWC Alumni Association.

 

 

 

From the provost’s speech yesterday, we have this excerpt:

 

 

 

“Before I mention who and who scores what, I will like to mention some things.

 

 

Out of all the write-ups that I marked, I have eight which will be reviewed a few times more and will be published in a book.

 

 

The proceedings from the sales of the book will be shared among the writers and the editor.

 

 

The person with the highest score will be honored with a certificate of participation, an award of academic excellence, a congrats design and a video.

 

 

Also, the fee for registration which she paid shall be returned to her.

 

 

Moreover, the title of the book which shall contain the seven stories shall be the title of her project topic.”

 

 

 

The programme which started at 7pm prompt on Friday had the presence of almost all the students. They were all joyous and grateful for the programme. Here is a screenshot of one joyous student:

 

 

 

The 24 students were inducted into the DWC Alumni Association yesterday as the following benefits were opened to them. Here is an excerpt from the Provost’s speech:

 

 

“As an alumnus of DWC, there are so many opportunities attached.

And then, the best graduating student of the first edition of DWC was announced by the provost. Hear her:

 

 

“Her project work was sound!

 

 

It has a touch of creativity that when refined will be awesome.

 

 

The height of suspense was amazing also!

 

 

Her participation in the class and the way she asked good questions cannot be overemphasized.

 

 

Together with her class works and last assignment, she has proven to be a committed Christian Writer and she deserves the win!

 

 

When you read the story, you will understand!

 

 

She is not like the best writer in the world but she is on her way to being one just like you and me are.

 

 

The writer of ‘Deja vu!’ who has 73% in our writing course is…

 

 

Please let’s begin to put our hands together for her.”

                                                             

 

1. AJAYI TAIWO ODION!

 

 

We celebrate you dear sis. I personally never knew you will go this far but you did. Of course, the sky is the starting point for you!”

 

 

The Best graduating student, though ill at the time of the award, expressed her shock and gratitude to God. she dedicated the award to God and all her colleagues. 

 

 

 

The students further expressed their minds thus:
