Professor Fr Philip Gibbs SVD OBE will be the new President of Divine Word University as of 1st January 2021. Professor Gibbs, who is currently the Deputy President of DWU, will officially take office on 1st January 2021.

Chairperson of the University Council Archbishop Dr Douglas Young SVD delivered the decision of the Council to the DWU Community in a letter dated 16th September 2020 on the occasion of the 45th Independence Anniversary of Papua New Guinea.

Professor Gibbs will take over from Professor Cecilia Nembou PhD, the first layperson and woman academic to have held the position since the establishment of DWU and its predecessor Divine Word Institute. Prof Nembou’s term expires on 31 December 2020 after taking over from the founding President of the University, Professor Fr Jan Czuba SVD (1995-2015) in 2016.

Professor Gibbs, from New Zealand, who first came to PNG in 1973 is a social researcher and academic besides his other engagements as a Catholic missionary. He holds a Doctorate in Theology from the Gregorian University in Rome and a Master of Business Administration from DWU among several other postgraduate and undergraduate qualifications.

The DWU Council made him a Professor Social Research in 2017. The PNG Government recognised Prof Gibbs for services to PNG and was awarded The Order of the British Empire (OBE) from Queen Elizabeth II in 2018.
