Dr. Donald C. Peters President of the Dominica State College has been invited by the Government of Canada and the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) to participate in the 2012 Emerging Leaders in the Americas Collaboration Program in Halifax Nova Scotia.
The Collaboration Mission brings together representatives from the Caribbean, Latin American and Canadian Universities and Colleges with the goal of solidifying partnerships that will ultimately lead to agreements between institutions that can promote further education opportunities for Dominica State College Students wishing to study in Canada.
Since taking up the Presidency at Dominica State College, Dr. Peters has used his North American experience to establish articulation agreements with U.S. Universities willing to offer lower cost tuition and Financial Aid to Dominica Students, now through this new initiative, he hopes to do the same with Canadian Universities.
Currently the majority of Dominica State Graduates who choose to further their Education, choose to study in the U.S.A. Dr. Peters believes that his participation in this program, will help create new opportunities for Dominica State College Students in Canada.
Dr. Peters visit to Canada is being sponsored by the Government of Canada, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) and the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE). The Collaboration Mission will be held from October 30th to November 7th, 2012.
Dr Peters need to settle down and listen to the grievious complaints of students and parents in Dominica regarding the tardiness and down right unprofessional way business is conducted at the college. Much money is spent by Dominican families for education at the college. Are we getting the service worth for our money? Let us not take the Dominica people for granted and abuse their ignorance. There are much logistical issues to better and structural adjustments to make to get things going like an organized institution. We do not feel Dr Peters presence and input at the college.
Doing a good job man.
in my humble opinion… dr peters is probably the best president this college has had…
A first class President of the College and let’s hope the this participation will benefit more students
