On Saturday, May 14, 2011, William Carey University awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree to Dr. Lalchungnunga, Principal, Serampore College. After the hooding ceremony, Dr. Lalchungnunga delivered the Commencement Address. Dr. Lalchungnunga's distinguished career has included work as a Christian minister, missionary, academic political scientist, and, since 1999, Principal of Serampore College.
This was the first such event in the history of William Carey University, and it coincided with the 250th anniversary of William Carey's birth. The Resolution of the University Board of Trustees marked the event. In 2005, Dr. Lalchungnunga was the Jubilee Lecturer at William Carey University.
Of special interest was the fact that Michael Lalmuanpuia, Dr. Lalchungnunga's son, graduated from William Carey University along with his father. During his undergraduate years (2006-2010), Michael served with distinction as a student intern in the Carey Center housed in Donnell Hall. The Carey Center celebrates Michael's committed service during the Museum's first four years of opening.
