University of Guyana and Massy Guyana Ltd. Ink Agreement to Enhance Student Development and Innovation
MOU Signing 12.jpg
From right, seated: Assistant Vice President - Corporate Management Systems, Massy Distribution and Massy Stores , Christpen Bobb-Semple, UG’s Deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement Dr. Melissa Ifill; UG’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Paloma Mohamed Martin; Chairman, Massy Guyana - Navindra Thakur; Deputy Vice Chancellor of Academic Engagement, Prof. Emanuel Cummings; Dean of SEBI, Professor Leyland Lucas. From Right standing: Assistant Vice President - Commercial, Massy Gas Products - Hekima Paul; HR Manager, Massy Stores - Sharon Rodrigues-Alguram; Quality Manager, Massy Distribution - Tiffany Andrade; and Head of IT & Business Solutions, Massy Guyana - Sherry Ann Khan.
The University of Guyana (UG) and Massy (Guyana) Ltd., on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at providing UG students with increased opportunities for career development, practical experience, and research innovation. The signing, which took place at the Office of the Vice-Chancellor at UG’s Turkeyen Campus, was formalised by Vice-Chancellor Professor Paloma Mohammed Martin and Massy (Guyana) Ltd. Chairman, Mr. Navindra Thakur.
This five-year MoU is designed to foster collaboration between the two organisations, enhancing the academic and professional pathways available to UG students. Through this partnership, UG students will benefit from scholarships, internships, and the Massy Management Trainee Programme, which will provide invaluable real-world experience and training. Additionally, the agreement will support the development of a talent pipeline, allowing students to transition into the workforce with essential skills.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Paloma Mohammed Martin expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership and encouraged Massy representatives to invest in students, even from the secondary school level. “The labour market is becoming increasingly competitive, with companies offering better packages to attract and retain talent. I’ve been advocating for local companies to focus on younger talent, such as CXC students. By engaging high-performing schools and sponsoring students to attend university, businesses can invest in training the next generation while addressing their own staffing needs. Beyond the job market, we must also focus on lifting people up by providing opportunities where they are often overlooked,” the VC said.
We look forward to continued support from UG, ensuring that the talent and skills we need continue to flow into Massy."
Dr. Melissa Ifill, UG’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Institutional Advancement, was also present at the signing session. She expressed her pleasure with the collaboration, highlighting that Massy is a significant player in the Guyanese market, making this agreement an important step forward for both institutions.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Academic Engagement, Prof. Emanuel F. Cummings, expressed his satisfaction with the partnership between Massy and the University of Guyana. He noted that it presents an opportunity for past graduates of the Massy Graduate Trainee Programme to serve as mentors for new trainees.
Dean of the School of Entrepreneurship & Business Innovation (SEBI), Professor Leyland Lucas, also shared his enthusiasm, highlighting that students who participate in the programme will return to the classroom with valuable practical knowledge, enhancing their academic and professional development.
Other key areas of collaboration under the MoU include professional development programmes, guest lectures delivered by Massy executives, and community engagement initiatives designed to enhance relationships between UG, Massy, and local communities.
“Caribbean Hero, Timeless Voice of Guyana and the Caribbean That Will Never Fade Away” - The University of Guyana Salutes the Life and Contributions of its former Artist-in-Residence and Honorary Doctor of Letters, Dr Dave Martins Upon His Transition
The University of Guyana extends sincere condolences to its dear Annette Arjune Martins, wife of our beloved Dr Dave Martins, (10, April 1935 – 18 August 2024), who transitioned yesterday (Sunday) after a long period of illness. The University community also extends its sympathies to other family members, friends and members of the national, regional and international artistic fraternity on the passing of this extra-ordinary individual.
Dr Martins was the University’s second Artist-in-Residence from 2017-2018. During that time, the University was able to produce his final country-wide tour, which saw him bring joy, pride and laughter to thousands in Guyana and abroad through his eight concerts, some of which were live-streamed. During his time as Artist-in-Residence, this well-respected son-of-the-soil also shared aspects of his craft during his master classes and lectures with students and staff.
The University, through its Artist-in-Residence programme, systematically documents the lives and technical processes of its Artists-in-Residence through their own eyes, for posterity and to enable the academic analysis of them and their work. In this regard, the University of Guyana, in tribute to this most magnanimous and iconic patriot is delighted to share the following productions as part of our tribute to a beloved friend of our University, country and the Caribbean. The Man Behind The Music DAVE MARTINS Biography: https://youtu.be/Z0maHyv-DbI
In 2022, Dr Dave Martins received the prestigious University of Guyana’s Honorary Doctorate in Arts and Letters. Please click here for excerpt of that award and his acceptance speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N769-sFVfA. As part of the University’s citation on that day, Master Orator of the select committee on the conferral of awards, Mr Al Creighton, said this of Dr Martins: “In which language do we extoll the brilliance of an artist whose brilliance is his use of language? Here is a writer whose prose pieces are in precise English, but whose poetic genius is articulated in Guyanese Creole. What is more, the Creole is a language that is not only his tool and resource, but his declared culture and identity.
Me feel sure say him woulda feel betta if we did do this citation in Creolese! Yu cyan’t mek out de man from de language…. Dave Martins, singer, song-writer, musician, band leader, story-teller, stand-up comedian, and playwright; newspaper columnist, former director of culture for the Cayman Islands and nightclub operator in Toronto, Canada, who has also been an Artist-in-Residence at the University of Guyana. He has combined the extraordinary power of the imagination with a clinical sense of observation and a command of music and literature to produce songs and entertainment whose impact on the Caribbean has lasted for more than 50 years.”
Vice Chancellor Prof Paloma Mohamed Martin in reflecting on the life of Dr Martin, said: “Dave was one of the most authentic human beings to have ever graced our lives. He was in every way a citizen scholar and an artistic intellect par excellence. We were privileged to receive him as our second Artist-in-Residence and to introduce him and his music to a whole new generation of students and youth. In honouring him with an honorary doctorate during his life, we know he felt appreciated, exalted and loved. On behalf of the Chancellor Prof. Edward Greene, Deputy Vice Chancellors, Senior Management Team and the entire University community, including alumni all over the world, we extend most sincere condolences to Annette, his sisters in Canada and his extended family and loved ones.”
May his life and work continue to bring pride and joy, and to inspire the future. May God bless his reposed soul.
