Cover of DWC World Newsletter Fall 2026

Unique past, future for mission

What brings a former cargo ship officer, an aerospace engineer and a missionary sister who served in the Amazon to Divine Word College? In the Fall 2026 issue of DWC World, meet six students in “Faces of DWC” and discover how their experiences shape the ways they hope to serve. You’ll also follow student senate president Chinh Pham’s journey from Vietnam to Iowa as he discerns a vocation with the Divine Word Missionaries.

The issue celebrates 125 years of missionary service in the United States by the Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters and marks 20 years since four of their sisters became the first women religious to study at DWC. You’ll also see how students welcomed RAGBRAI riders to Epworth with a traditional lion dance and Vietnamese egg rolls, and meet Doug Stillings, this year’s Donaghey Award recipient, honored for decades of service to the College.

Read the Fall 2026 issue of DWC World to meet the people who bring Divine Word College’s missionary spirit to life.
