He is a native of Dominica and the former Head of the Dominica Open Campus Site. Dr. Severin, who is known for his powerful oratory skills and commitment to education and intellectual development/stimulation as a guaranteed avenue for economic development and enhancement of people’s self-esteem, will speak on the topic, “Putting people first: Grounding human well-being in a framework of social security.”
This will be Dr. Severin’s first official visit to Anguilla since his appointment to the position of Director in 2013 and this visit will include paying courtesy calls on Government and Education officials, as well as other stakeholders. He will also preside over the first local UWI Open Campus Recognition of Graduates Ceremony on Anguilla during that time.
Congratulations to my former student, I could see it in you at 10 years old. Continue your call to duty and shine as a bright light in the darkness that is around us.
Congrats to my former 6th Form College teacher. We know that you will represent us well.
It is indeed a privilege to deliver a public lecture so congrats Mr. Francis Severin, my former history teacher at D.G.S.
A formidable academic stalwart. Well researched and thorough in his presentations. His presentations are stimulating and well grounded into real life experiences and he advances the call for a fairer more just society. No nonsense member of the academia. He calls it by its real name. Dr. Severin’s our very own son of the soil: a man of undisputed repute.
Excellent! Congrats to my former teacher! Delivering a public lecture is certainly an honour!
