And we have become so because we have had great help”, he posited.

He then named various private sector individuals such as Hemraj Kissoon, Sattaur Gafoor, Aubrey Blackman, Mr. & Mrs. Henry Sookhoo and Mr. Soudesh Ramdeholl, whose sterling contributions mean well for the tertiary institution in Berbice.He stated that his campus wants to continue to “share what we have with our community rather than see what we can get for our own individual gain”.“There is little or no room for that kind of selfishness, and I must confess some degree of impatience with such an attitude”, the Professor added.An “amazing jump in enrollment numbers and financial solvency” at the campus were some of the new developments which the Director discussed. He urged the university to have “serious reform from inside and out and from top down” One of the ways this can happen, he said, was by engaging the private sector by”first listening to them.“We must listen to people like Sattaur Gafoor and Yesu Persaud, Aubrey Blackman and Hemraj Kissoon, among many others”, he said.  “We must together find ways for them to take part ownership of our University…even as we make it clear that the primary owners of this UG are the working men and women of Guyana. We must let them know that our students are clients…that is the unique nature of business called university”.He extended an invitation to corporate Guyana to assist the campus “by being part of programme identification and creation, curriculum reform and design, and course subject matter”.To the graduands, he noted that being educated means having the ability to measure your own ignorance. “And that is a difficult thing indeed. It means being willing to learn for the rest of your lives and to gauge how much you do not know”, he said. He noted that the greatest enemy of education is arrogance. He urged the graduands to use their new qualifications and talents for the general good of others. “And all of this comes out in the way we speak and write. You can measure poor writers…by counting the number of adjectives used in language. You know the lack of substance by the inflation of language. The great writer almost disappears in writing”, he posited.Degrees, Associate Degrees, Certificates and Diplomas were then handed out to the respective graduands and these were later conferred upon the graduates by Dr Prem Misir. Several outstanding students received prizes and trophies, including Mahendra Prasad, Shashi Kala Ade- Thomas, Adel John, Akeisha Benjamin, Fazeena Chase, Savitri Marimootoo, Monish Bisnauth, Mooneswar Rashdari, Andrea Bisram and Imran Sacoor.
