A JOURNEY OF FAITH AND SERVICE: NCF-CCJE SENDS OFF CRIMINOLOGY INTERNS
There are moments in a student’s journey when the classroom begins to feel a little smaller, and the world outside calls them to put what they have learned into action.
For the Criminology Interns of Naga College Foundation, Inc. (NCF), that moment began with prayer.
A Send-Off Mass for the Criminology Internship On-the-Job Training (OJT) Deployment was held on October 2, 2026, at the Criminology Hall, 6th Floor of the Criminology Building, bringing together the interns and faculty members.
More than a formal activity before deployment, the Mass served as a meaningful reminder to the interns that their upcoming field experience is not simply about completing an academic requirement. It is an opportunity to discover what it truly means to serve, take responsibility, and become a professional.
As the interns prepare to enter different law enforcement, public safety, justice, and other partner agencies, they will encounter situations that may challenge their knowledge, patience, discipline, and character. The send-off became an opportunity to pause, reflect, and ask for God’s guidance as they take this important step.
The atmosphere was filled with hope and anticipation as the interns prepared to leave the familiar environment of the classroom and experience the realities of professional practice. They were reminded that wherever their assignments may take them, they represent not only themselves but also their families and the institution that helped prepare them.
The journey ahead will bring new people to meet, responsibilities to carry, lessons to learn, and experiences that will shape them as future criminology professionals.
With faith as their foundation and the values of integrity, discipline, responsibility, compassion, and service as their guide, the interns were encouraged to face their OJT journey with humility and commitment.
Their internship may only be one chapter in their academic journey, but it can become one of the most meaningful chapters—where lessons from books and lectures meet the realities of the workplace, and where students begin to understand the deeper meaning of their chosen profession.
As they step into the field, one message remains:
Go forth with faith. Serve with integrity. Learn with humility.
