    Grell, should have stopped at “Congrats to you all”. May I ask what degree you graduated with, if any?

    So who says a woman can’t have it all. You inspire those of us who are working wives, mothers and career women. Who still cook our family meals and do the laundry. Ca c’est femme!

    Congratulations! Makes me remember the time when I attended that institution. It was then called CAST and we graduated with diplomas, not degrees. These were wonderful days.

    More talent again returning to work in a country where the GOVT will not engage and enable its educated Dominicans in a meaningful way to develop this country.

    Trust this will change soon so these talents will not go to waste because they are well needed to build Dominica to prosperity.

    Congratulations Graduates!!!!!
