The MOU is a result of a previous visit the Minister undertook to the campuses of Monroe College both in St. Lucia and New York recently. The MOU will open up the possibility for St. Martin students to enroll at the college to study a wide range of courses offered by the institution, including forensic science, teacher training and hospitality studies.
The Chief Academic Officer of the New York campus, Dr. Karenann Carty and the Director of Admissions, Mr. Gersom Lopez will be signing on behalf of Monroe College. They both arrive the island on Tuesday, June 28th.
The two Monroe College representatives will meet with officials of the Justice Department, Ms. Irene Simmons and Ms. Ludmila Duncan Wednesday morning to discuss possibilities in the areas of Forensic Science and Judicial studies.
Following the signing of the MOU, they will also meet with University of St. Martin authorities to discuss areas of collaboration between the two institutions.
The visiting Monroe College delegation will dedicate the afternoon hours of Wednesday, June 29th , from 5:00pm – 7:00pm to meeting with potential students and their parents, who can have their questions answered directly by the two representatives of the College.
All Monroe College courses are also offered online, which opens up the possibility for students who, for whatever reason, may not be able to study on campus, to do so online from the comfort of their homes. Such potential students are also invited to meet with the delegation.
The Monroe College delegation leaves the island on Thursday, June 30th.
