Congratulations Dominican UWI Graduates of 2015
Dominica can be proud of its focus on education, and those who have received their degrees. Not to be forgotten are the parents who fostered in their children a love for learning and helped them reach their goals.
I hope a significant number of the grads will find suitable jobs in Dominica. Their elders don\’t want to lose
them now. Let some at least be found building the Dominica of tomorrow, and let none forget their roots!
Best wishes and blessings to all.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
The ladies must enouage the men. They need husbands that are compatible with them. You do not want a fool for your husband. Just saying
Congrats Aunty Kendra.Cheche is very proud of you.You can only go up from here.Reach for the stars.
CONGRATULATONS UWI graduates
Dominica can be proud of its focus on education and their young people who are earning degrees. Much should be said in praise of parents who help their children understand the value of an education and encourage them to stay in school.
Among these will be those who have the aptitude and means to continue and earn advanced degrees. Let them be encouraged to do it, and become the best they can be. We only pass this way once.
From my perch up here in Canada I find myself hoping a significant number of these grads will find suitable jobs in Dominica. Safe to say their elders don\’t want to lose them and Dominica needs what they have to offer.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
When I posted the second one they both appeared on the screen.
Sincerely, Rev. Don.
Congrats Nikkie Williams!
On another note, where are the men? Two men out of a sea of women is shocking and disappointing.
OMG. Brothers can’t you see a problem out there. This problem permeates and transcends all the countries where there are Black men. What is wrong with you guys. Please get an education to represent like the sisters. Damn……..
Almost the equal number of men graduate from other universities yearly..UWI and Monroe graduates especially here will have more females because the programs offered are limited and catot mainly to women. More programs need to be offered..Engineering, Aviation studies etc..congrats to the women and men
Congratulations to you all. Cannot help but notice every year just a few men seek higher learning. Shame on you fellas. They priority seems to be out of whack.
This article brings smiles. Congrats to all. We are Diminica strong
Where are the fellas? The young guys have to step their game up!
I was thinking the same looking at the pic
Welcome alumni sisters. Don’t stop with the first degree. Seek education from the cradle to the grave.
I wish to congratulate all the other graduates. May you continue to strive for higher heights and translate those degrees into successful careers. All the best.
Does that not tell us something about our young men in DA. How many of them are named in the graduates list. The women are gaining their independence and leaving the young men behind, I wonder why that is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kesha Ryner I am looking at you
Congrarulation for achieving your degrees but am sad to tell u that u are in the wrong country. A country that dont even recognize persons with degree. Everything is politics. Better u all travell and get the money u deserve for your degree. Dominica is just a waste of time.
Omg ST-U already! Forever negative
Having a degree is not always about money. Some people want to be able to do their tasks better. Therein lies self satisfaction. Travel to develop someone else’s country and then cry the Dominica is just a waste of time> No way Jose. Proud to be Dominican!
Whoooosh!! Congrats to all graduates….especially MARYANA LUGAY!!!! Congrats on your accomplishment. Reach for the stars!!
Congrats Casmine. The sky is the limit. Continue the good work.
wats the diff between dominica uwi and antigua uwi? just asking
There is no difference. These islands all fall under the UWI Open Campus. Just different ‘branches’ so to speak.
No difference. Read the very last line of the article. Dominica and Antigua are just one of 44 sites. The graduation is held on a different island every year. Last year was St. Lucia, this year was Antigua.
ohh ok, thanks, i understand.
Every year UWI holds its regional graduation ceremony for the Open Campus in a different Caribbean country. Antigua was selected this year.
