DSC hosts 16th commencement ceremony

On Tuesday, October 30, 2018, Dominica State College (DSC) will host its 16th annual graduation commencement ceremony, at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium (WPSS) from 3.00pm.

At this ceremony, the Board of Governors, President, Management and Staff of DSC will celebrate the accomplishments of well over 400 students, the largest graduation class to date.

As customary, Chairman of the Board of Governors, Dr. Ian Lambert, will convey the welcome address, Dr. Donald C. Peters will give the charge to the graduants and Minister for Education, Petter St. Jean, is expected to deliver the feature address.

Ronald Smith, one of our DSC lecturers will preside over the ceremony.

DSC is proud to announce this year’s keynote commencement speaker is our very own, Roosevelt Skerrit, the Prime Minister of Dominica, who just received another honorary degree from the Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in response to, and recognition of, his leadership and advocacy on climate change. He already holds an honorary doctorate from the Lovely Professional University in Punjab, India.

A record forty-seven (47) students will graduate with honors having obtained a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5 or above. Outstanding graduates across all programs will receive special awards, the major highlight of which is the Valedictorian award chosen on the basis of outstanding academic performance and significant contribution to collegiate life and community outreach.

The Dominica State College is proud to share in our nation’s sense of pride as we too join in celebrating this Reunion year. This record number of high-achieving young men and women are an apt representation of the strides we as Dominicans have made thus far, on this journey to 40 years of Independence.

    I wonder how many of you know that the Dominica State College Logo that they like to so proudly use was deisgned by DR Helen Francis Seaman and her sister ex-queen and economist Diana Francis! Never gave either of them any credit but when the time came this same college was so quick to throw the people that did so much for the school out on their … ! RIP to a real DR. Anyway pretty sure this comment will be deleted because it’s not praising all u fake DR! Just schooling all u

    I find that I am very much disappointed in the political aggressiveness of the readers of this article. They fail to recognize that the number of students graduating is remarkable and a number of them are graduating with honors. And yet, our commentators let their the political nature get the best of them. My friends…remember the college students who worked so hard to get to graduate with honors. Remember students who persisted during Hurricane Maria and let’s not forget the families who worked so hard to send their child to college. Instead of criticizing the credentials of Prime Minister Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit and his autonomy as leader of this country, remember our young people, whose persistence and effort are not fuel by politics.

    The Associate Degree that the students are receiving, are they ‘ACCREDITED’? There is an education institution (very prestigious) here in Dominica which doesn’t acknowledge it.

    Oh that school gave him one before?

    ADMIN I may be dotish so research for me if it is correct to say that the PM holds an honourary degreee … or he was granted an honourary degree…. As if i feel that holding a degree is for persons that earned it.
    Thanks
