The agreement will see the University of Guyana through its Department of Geography, Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences offering a Diploma in Land Administration and Management (LAM) for the second time.

The VC noted: “The feedback that we have gotten from the first cohort is that it has been excellent as the students were from practical practising entities in government and so it is providing tremendous support to the Government of Guyana and the entities it works through in supporting these development objectives.”&nbsp; UG will support 6 additional students to the programme from governmental departments in dire need of the necessary upskilling in land administration.&nbsp; The University will also begin to offer a modernized degree in surveying in the new academic year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://uog.edu.gy/sites/default/files/attachments/Commissioner-CEO.jpg\" style=\" width:100%; height:auto;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>&nbsp;Commissioner/Chief Executive Officer, Lands and Surveys Commission, Mr. Enrique Monize</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The feature address was delivered by Commissioner/Chief Executive Officer, Lands and Surveys Commission, Mr. Enrique Monize.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In his remarks, the Commissioner/Chief Executive Officer of the GLSC noted that when he returned to the GLSC in 2020, he saw the need for more training and another land administration programme in order to build the capacity of the agency. “We have been using land surveying students to conduct land processing in the Commission. So, this is an opportunity to build capacity within our organisation in this vital area,” the Commissioner noted.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mr. Monize expressed that the necessary training in land management and administration in Guyana is essential for the officers. “Land management is also a process but this deals with the resources of the land and to ensure the resources of the land are put to good use, be it farming or mineral exactions. There are a lot of activities in terms of housing development in the country. So, land management coupled with land administration could make a good programme for the Lands and Surveys Commission.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Commissioner shared his profound satisfaction in the level of improvement the Commission has seen in their staff from the first cohort of students and because of this, the Commission found it necessary to support the programme again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://uog.edu.gy/sites/default/files/attachments/FAO%20Country%20Representative%2C%20Dr.%20Gillian%20Smith.jpg\" style=\" width:100%; height:auto;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>FAO Country Representative, Dr. Gillian Smith</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>FAO Country Representative, Dr. Gillian Smith said: “This programme seeks to provide capacity building that is certified in the field of land administration by the University of Guyana for twenty students from GLSC and other government entities.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She revealed that the value of the project is GY $20.6 million and urged the beneficiaries to take full advantage of the opportunities to develop themselves.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://uog.edu.gy/sites/default/files/attachments/Chief%20Technical%20Advisor%20for%20Sustainable%20Land%20Development%20and%20Management%2C%20Mr.%20Javier%20Prieto.jpg\" style=\" width:100%; height:auto;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Chief Technical Advisor for Sustainable Land Development and Management, Mr. Javier Prieto</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chief Technical Advisor for Sustainable Land Development and Management, Mr. Javier Prieto expressed thanks to the Government of the Kingdom of Norway for its continued support and funding towards sustainable land preservation in Guyana and for making the programme possible for the development and training for proper land administration and management in Guyana.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Two prospective students; Ms. Nadanie Singh and Mr. Lumuel Wickham, provided an overview of their expectations of what they hope to achieve during and after completing their Diploma in the Land Administration and Management programme.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The programme will begin on March 28, 2022, and the persons who were selected to participate in the programme have already registered.

The knowledge I have gained and the content that I was exposed to have positioned me for success and expanded my vision and thinking,” the proud graduate said. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bentick had her fair share of personal struggles but was determined that no obstacle would come in the way of her successfully completing her studies at UG, which she is fully aware will allow her to secure a better future.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She detailed the challenges she faced coping with her studies and caring for her differently-abled child.&nbsp; She explained that while attending classes she would have to schedule her time around dropping off and picking up her child from the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre. This, she noted, posed quite a difficulty for her to be on time for her classes. However, she highlighted that her classmates and lecturers were very supportive and without them it would have been very difficult to finish her studies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“There is a support network at the University of Guyana that I found particularly in my peers who would ensure that I had a seat and the notes I missed when I was running late; my academic advisors were a WhatsApp message away and were always willing to help and guide me when I needed same, my Dean, who was very proactive and interested in the wellbeing of his students and Lecturers whom I could have reached out to for assistance at any time. I also made use of the library resources even after midnight at times and was never afraid to ask questions or for help when I needed it. In essence, I took charge of my educational success,” Bentick explained.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The career banker who aspires to one day become an educator added: “SEBI provided a platform for me to develop and grow and I no longer feel stuck. I am filled with confidence and exude many competencies in many areas of my life. Importantly, I feel well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. I am currently furthering my studies and have experienced career advancement.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bentick expressed immense gratitude to those who supported her academic journey and contributed to her success. “A journey could never be taken in isolation and so I recognise first of all the Almighty God for health, strength, and wisdom, and some people that made it possible… Gayann Russel-Persaud for insisting that I apply to the University of Guyana, my mother, Wilhelmina Dos Ramos who faithfully took care of things for me at home, my son Ray who shared the pick-up schedule and who also graduated with me this year, and my ‘A-Team; Sabita Rampertab, Imran Boodram, and Andrew Horatio. You all were a major part of my support base. Thank you!”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bentick offered words of encouragement to current students. “As I reflect on the past four years, an African proverb comes to mind, it goes like this; “Where you sit when you are old depends on how you stand in your youth”.&nbsp; Today is the day to stand, today is the day to make the best of every opportunity that comes your way.

Each module provided trainers with a range of knowledge, skills and competencies related to instructional design, instructional delivery, and assessment both face-to-face and online.

This is a training programme we\'ve taken very, very seriously; the role that has been given to us as the nation’s state university and also looking at the entire state of the art of what Guyana is likely to have to deal with in the future and understanding that security, safety, and resilience are the center of anything that we have to do for securing our future,” the Vice-Chancellor posited.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Further, the Vice-Chancellor gave kudos to the GPF for pushing and piloting this initiative. Professor Mohamed Martin said, “When we work to train human beings and to give them the skills, attitudes, belief systems, structures, and other tools and techniques that they need to grow, we are really making a huge investment not only in our lifetime for ourselves but also in the nation\'s future. So, I really wish to commend the senior administration of the Police Force.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Deputy Commissioner (Administration) (ag.) of the GPF Calvin Brutus, who is in charge of training and development at the GPF noted: “It is imperative that we have a cadre of trained instructors to deliver the modules to our policemen and women. We are working on improving our training as we have recently gotten the approval to recruit and train 700 new members for the Guyana Police Force.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Providing an overview of why the course is fundamental to the development of the GPF, the Deputy Commissioner (ag) said: “Training is critical because it drives the direction of the Force, it improves the security for the members of the country and it improves our working relationship with each other. But, more importantly, at the end of it, we expect that members of the Force who depart the organisation will have life skills that they can use beyond the Guyana Police Force and be productive citizens to build our country.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Engagement) of the University of Guyana, Professor Emanuel Cummings noted that it was an excellent initiative for the University and GPF to collaborate on the project. Professor Cummings noted, “Our institution is not here just to provide four or five-year programmes in Degrees but also to offer short-term courses that are relevant, that will create an opportunity for the GPF and security forces in general.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Deputy Commissioner, I applaud you, that you were able to have discussions with the wider University community that has brought us to this juncture… This course will certainly help your trainers to develop and to deliver quality education and quality training programmes to your recruits. And by extension, help them to be better prepared to deliver effective services in the security system,” DVC Cummings said.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The development and design team was led by UG’s Director of CoETal, Dr. Charmaine Bissessar. She led other experts from the University of Guyana - Dr. Tamashwar Budhoo, Mrs. Bonita Hunter, Dr. Troy Brown, Ms. Phoenix, and Professor Stafford Griffith in designing and delivering the training course.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Instructional delivery topics included: Instructional Strategies, Policing in a Culturally Diverse Background in the Guyanese Setting, Reflexive Praxis, Bloom’s Taxonomy, and Teaching Adult Learners among other things.

Between 1838 and 1917, when indentureship ended, an estimated 240,000 Indians were brought to Guyana.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The University of Guyana Press will also host the virtual book launch of “Kiskadee Days” by Gaitri Pagrach-Chandra later in May to continue the month of commemoration of Indian arrival and their contributions to Guyana.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The University will also host similar events for Emancipation Day and Indigenous Peoples Month on these commemorative days later this year.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https://uog.edu.gy/sites/default/files/attachments/unnamed%20%282%29.png\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong>###</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong>UG IN BRIEF</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The University of Guyana is the 59th year State University of Guyana.

('news', 0, 1448, 1457, 'und', 0, '<p>\"We were Happy to Showcase what UG is Capable of Nurturing,\" says Team Member Shomari Williams, who was honoured to receive the award on behalf of the 4-member team.&nbsp; Four young Guyanese – 3 current staff and a student at the University of Guyana\'s Computer Sciences Department in the Faculty of Natural Sciences, have put Guyana centre-stage in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The team calling themselves \"FramePerfect\" – have outshone 149 of their counterparts from countries around the world to win this year\'s 5G for change hackathon earning them a Webby award. The Guyanese team presented a path-breaking proposal that integrates AI, the use of drones and the internet to combat deforestation. This is a potentially game-changing application in the face of a planet striving to bring carbon emissions down. Preserving forests, jungles and trees are a key part of that equation.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 5G For Change International Hackathon, which was hosted by Verizon in New York last week, saw 150 international teams participating in the competition.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"FramePerfect\", the Guyanese quartet whose Webby project was to combat illegal logging in Guyana\'s forest, included brothers; Shomari Williams and Malik Williams, Andrew Garnett and Jun Leung three recent graduates and a student still at UG.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While attending the University of Guyana, the group came together over their shared love for computer science. Together, they founded Unity GY, a non-profit organisation that \"leverages technology to solve problems and to narrow the education gap in Guyana.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was the same team that developed the UG Cares application, which was deployed to place donors with persons in need from inside or outside of Guyana during the COVID period and especially during the very devastating floods of the past 12 months. UG Cares was also a scaled-up version of their winning application for a UNICEF Guyana sponsored hackathon in 2019. The UG Cares app is still available by clicking the link here (<a href=\"https://ugcares.unitygy.com\">https://ugcares.unitygy.com</a>).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The team, made up of Andrew, Jun, Malik and Shomari, was invited to compete in the inaugural Webby competition following a similar win in the recently launched GTT hackathon. However, their journey there was far from perfect since they had to raise funds to attend and lived and worked on a shoestring budget, living together in a single hotel room in Manhattan for the duration of the two-week competition. Emerging as the finalist in the competition and winning the coveted prize of 50,000 USD, the Webby Trophy and plenty of bragging rights is a testament not only to their immense talent but to their grit, resilience and determination.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to the event organisers, the Hackathon challenged teams to tackle an important issue and solve it by using 5G and the internet. Out of 150 submissions, only five teams were selected to pitch their ideas before a judging panel of industry leaders—from Verizon, MIT Solve, the Black Ambition Opportunity Fund and Stagewell Global—at Verizon’s headquarters in New York City.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Andrew, Jun, Malik and Shomari are passionate about tackling the issue of illegal logging in Guyana\'s forests. \"We care about it because it is our planet,\" Shomari Williams, The Data and AV Officer in the Office of the Vice-Chancellor (PACE Unit) at the University of Guyana was quoted as saying in an online article published by the Webby (<a href=\"https://www.webbyawards.com/5g-for-change-finalist-team-frame-perfect/#content_grab\">https://www.webbyawards.com/5g-for-change-finalist-team-frame-perfect/#content_grab</a>).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Malik Williams, an ICT engineer at UG, reasoned that more people are becoming aware of the global ramifications of deforestation and its impact on climate change. \"It\'s becoming a global responsibility to get involved,\" Malik said.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To tackle deforestation, the team is proposing to create a \"comprehensive monitoring system that streams audio to dispatch drones to see what is happening in the forest.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to the Webby awards article, “Team FramePerfect wants to attach AI-powered listening devices into trees throughout the forest and inform drone devices when logging activity is taking place. They have a vision of using the drones to inform rangers of when illegal logging takes place.\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In an interview with UG’s Public Relations Department, the team said: “We are elated that we won. We’re happy because we got to showcase and defend our idea and, in the process of doing that, brought attention to The University of Guyana and Guyana as a whole.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Commenting on the competition, the team said: “The competition itself pushed us to bring our A-game because we were up against people with great ideas and the skillset to represent their ideas well. It was a wild ride. Every one of our opponents was immensely talented and had something unique to offer. After the presentation of our idea, it was nerve-wracking anticipating who would win, and we had doubts because we did not know what the judges were looking for specifically.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Expressing deep appreciation to all those who supported the team’s participation in the event, the team expressed: “Firstly, we have to acknowledge that our team would not be able to participate in this competition if it wasn’t for the support of the University of Guyana’s Faculty of Natural Sciences, the Philanthropy, Alumni and&nbsp;<br />\r\nCivic Engagement (PACE) office and Tactical Online Service (TOS) departments at UG and GTT.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Guyana has expressed the University’s absolute delight at the team’s success. She said, “This is what UG is supposed to be about. Success for our students and staff in any arena. We are getting there, and this is one of those things that is testimony to this focus of student-citizen success that we have. My office supported them because we thought they deserved the exposure as young people. They still had to do their UG work while travelling. Sometimes speaking to Shomari, who works in my office late at nights, I could hear the others in the background, definitely cramped in a single room but intellectually expansive, awake and firing on all cylinders. A special-special moment for all the young people of this country and region! We are just happy and thank these young men and all those who also helped to support them and nurture them.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to Shomari, who just graduated with a Master’s in Global Technology and Development under UG’s Special Faculty building programme with ASU (Arizona State University) the team members are excited that they won the competition, as they were provided with an opportunity to compete and showcase what Guyanese are capable of and what our University is capable of nurturing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Regarding the next steps, the team is made up of young professionals (21-22 years old), and the guys want to continue pursuing their education. Malik and Andrew are looking to pursue their master\'s in data science / Artificial Intelligence. Jun is about to graduate from the University of Guyana and is a part-time software developer at the University. Shomari has recently finished his Masters and in his own words said: \"It\'s time to work on personal and career development.\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The team expressed: \"We are all exhausted after a few long weeks of effort but are now fueling back up to continue putting in the work.”<br />\r\nFramePerfect invites anyone who is interested in the project to contact them on contact@frameperfectgy.com.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"responsive;\" src=\"https://uog.edu.gy/sites/default/files/attachments/%28Vice-Chancellor%20of%20the%20University%20of%20Guyana%2C%20Prof.%20Paloma%20Mohamed%2C%20with%20the%20Webby-winning%20FramePerfect%20Team%20made%20up%20of%20UG%20staff%20and%20students%20last%20Friday%20upon%20their%20return.%20Photo%20courtesy%20of%20PACE.%20Photographer%20Tara.png\" style=\"width:100%;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>(Vice-Chancellor of the University of Guyana, Prof. Paloma Mohamed, with the Webby-winning FramePerfect Team made up of UG staff and students last Friday upon their return.

University of Guyana staff and students are invited to view via zoom, the link for which has already been sent to their emails.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Opening Ceremony, which will also be streamed, is scheduled for Wednesday, June 8 at 9:00 hrs and will feature presentations from Vice-Chancellor, XI, Professor Paloma Mohamed Martin, Director of UGIRIE, and Professor of Practice, Pat Francis, among others.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Prof. Pat Francis expressed the University’s excitement at being able to host the event since it is the first time that key stakeholders and members of the public will be afforded the opportunity to get an up-close look at the ground-breaking and innovative applied research work being done by students and staff of the University of Guyana.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Prof. Francis said: “The University of Guyana produces more than 100 applied research pieces every year in collaboration with several agencies and other Universities.&nbsp; We are particularly pleased to commence the process of making these findings available to Guyanese entrepreneurs and householders.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The UGIRIE is a Technology Transfer Facility (TTF) that provides a platform for researchers and innovators within the University of Guyana and allied institutions/individual researchers to share new products and services with the industry. The programmes and courses offer practical approaches to establishing, accelerating and scaling up businesses. The Institute focuses on concepts that are grounded in good science and technology.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vice-Chancellor of the University of Guyana Prof. Paloma Mohamed Martin said: “Apart from the applied research and innovation projects, UG staff publishes an average of 200 peer-reviewed articles annually. The student research culture is powerful and has been continuous for decades, it’s time our university showcased this, and we are delighted that Prof. Francis and her tiny dedicated team in UGIRIE have been able to bring this exciting first showing into the public space. They have also invited schools and partners. I think this is just fantastic!”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The UGIRIE was set up in 2019 with a mandate of bridging the gap between knowledge generation and utilisation through strategic partnerships, thereby facilitating start-ups and product improvement. Ultimately it intends to facilitate the utilisation of Guyana’s vast natural resources to help generate new products and services, thereby playing its part in stimulating Guyanese innovation and technologies driven by rigorous scientific research and practice which is happening inside the University.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The UGIRIE said it hopes to help transform our economy through the development, documentation, dissemination and marketing of research findings and innovations in science, arts and humanities to industry.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The University of Guyana Programmes Offered:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For a full list of UG’s Programme offerings, kindly visit the following website: <a href=\"https://turkeyenonline.uog.edu.gy/srms/student/prospective/application/login.php\">https://turkeyenonline.uog.edu.gy/srms/student/prospective/application/login.php</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\nProspective students can also find their programme of choice by exploring the following links:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>College of Medical Sciences - <a href=\"https://fhs.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments\">https://fhs.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry - <a href=\"https://faf.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments\">https://faf.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Faculty of Education and Humanities - <a href=\"https://feh.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments\">https://feh.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences – <a href=\"https://fees.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments\">https://fees.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Faculty of Engineering and Technology - <a href=\"https://fot.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments\">https://fot.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Faculty of Natural Sciences - <a href=\"https://fns.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments\">https://fns.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Faculty of Social Sciences - <a href=\"https://fss.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments\">https://fss.uog.edu.gy/srms/departments</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Institute of Distance and Continuing Education (IDCE) - <a href=\"https://idce.uog.edu.gy/programmes-offered\">https://idce.uog.edu.gy/programmes-offered</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto;\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https://uog.edu.gy/sites/default/files/attachments/UGIRIE%20Collage%20%231%20%282%29.png\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Technology for Development: Some of the ground-breaking work that UG staff and students have been working on that will be on full display at the Inaugural Exhibition of Innovation</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto;\" class=\"img-responsive\"src=\"https://uog.edu.gy/sites/default/files/attachments/unnamed_0.png\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>###</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><u><strong>UG IN BRIEF</strong></u></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The University of Guyana is the 59th-year state university of Guyana.

It is to be noted that some classes for <em><strong>new</strong></em> students in some disciplines such as in the College of Medical Science will begin two weeks later, since these students require their CXC, GCE and CAPE results in order to be admitted. The University was able to facilitate provisional admission for some disciplines ahead of their<br />\r\nexamination results being released by CXC.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Applications, registration and admission are still ongoing as the University prepares for yet another historic first in its 59 year history. The University for the first-time will offer its students three attendance options. Depending on discipline classes will be offered in online, face-to-face or blended learning formats. Faculties and other academic departments continue to advise their respective students directly about options available to them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, UG’s new online timetabling system will also be made available to new and continuing students from September 2 nd , at <u><a href=\"https://uog.edu.gy/ugtimetables\"><span style=\"color:#2F4F4F;\">https://uog.edu.gy/ugtimetables</span></a></u>.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>VIRTUAL Orientations for New and Continuing students</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>This year UG will welcome over 3000 freshmen who will join 8000 continuing students, three thousand of whom are set to graduate later this year. Virtual orientations for new and continuing students of the Turkeyen, Berbice Campuses and Institutes for Distance and Continuing Education (IDCE) will run for one week. URL for orientations will be available to students directly from their SRMS, the<br />\r\nUniversity’s Registry and their academic Departments from September 2. New and continuing students will receive emails directly with the necessary login information in order for them to register.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The orientation sessions are aimed at providing a step-by-step introduction to all of the systems, policies, personnel, and resources that students need to navigate the University. This will be particularly important for students to start their classes seamlessly on the first day of classes. Sessions also address programme-related queries and concerns and provide the necessary support and guidance to students to ensure their time at the University is smooth, enriching, and fulfilling as far as possible. During orientation, students are also introduced to the rules, regulations, lecturers, specific processes, given a tour of the physical and online classrooms, how to read and calculate their grade point average (GPA) and academic profiles. They are also made aware of the special services and opportunities available to them during and after their studies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Students awaiting communication on their applications should check if they submitted their applications or their documents, or if they clicked to accept the offer.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Though many programmes are at capacity, students who have applied and not yet heard from the University or who wish to register for programmes which still have spaces <strong>are encouraged to apply or complete pending applications or registrations as registrations will be ongoing into early November for waitlisted students.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Traditional Opening Ceremony</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The University of Guyana’s traditional Ceremonial Opening will also be held virtually on September 9, 2022, at 17:00h.

The iconic publication will now add significantly to the body of literature that is available in Guyana and the region on the extraordinary life and career of celebrated Guyanese legal luminary Judge Mohamed Shahabuddeen.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This Pictorial Biography, which was written by Judge Shahabuddeen’s son, Sieyf Shahabuddeen, is full of informative text and lush with photographs chronicling the extraordinary life of one of the greatest legal minds of our time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The cousin of the late Judge Shahabuddeen, Ms. Sharaon Correia, officially presented the book to the gathering and read a speech on behalf of Sieyf Shahabuddeen. In her brief dissertation, Ms. Correia detailed: “Judge Shahabuddeen was raised by an aunt in a poor village on Guyana’s Essequibo Coast. He attended school at a converted Dutch barn…He was appointed his country’s Attorney General. He earned five academic degrees without ever attending University.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“The late Judge Shahabuddeen was a remarkable man who was elected a judge of the International Court of Justice (The World Court) and later the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. He also served as a judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. Judge Mohamed Shahabuddeen earned an international reputation as one of the world’s most brilliant and prolific jurists. He was even elected to the International Criminal Court,” she added.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chief Librarian of the University of Guyana, Ms. Gwyneth George, expressed her appreciation for the donation of the book and noted that it is a significant addition to the library’s repository. Like the Vice-Chancellor, she noted that Judge Shahabuddeen had achieved distinction in his legal career, and that our students and all others involved in the legal field will benefit tremendously from the work captured in the publication.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Seven (7) copies of the publication were handed over to the University of Guyana’s Chief Librarian, Ms. Gwyneth George; five (5) copies were handed over to Prof. Gomathinayagam Subramanian, the Director of the UG Berbice Campus and six (6) copies were handed over to the Representative for Ms. Emiley King, Chief Librarian of the National Library.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At a simple, but significant handing-over ceremony held at the University of Guyana Library, Turkeyen Campus on Aug 12th,&nbsp; UG’s Vice-Chancellor, XI, Prof. Paloma Mohamed Martin reflected on The underlining the importance of capturing, documenting and preserving the work, ideas and thoughts of Guyanese intellectuals and professionals, the Vice-Chancellor said: “I\'d like to of course, commend the book, but also to place it in the context of a growing canon of Caribbean work and regional work that is beginning to appear... The voice of a people is resident in the work of their history, the spoken and written words of those who act in the public space, and in the intellect that is often lost because we as a people have not paid attention to the documentation and dissemination of what we write, what we think and how we\'ve acted.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to the Vice-Chancellor, if current dominant narratives about us have to change, this will only happen through continuous and robust documentation and dissemination of our thought and practice. She expressed that persons should be able to find Guyanese public figures’ intellectual work using Google search since it is imperative that we become aware of what our own intellectual and public figures would have written or said.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“I am glad that it’s on kindle, since I think, this book is adding to a small but growing cannon of works that are searchable, that are online, that are accessible, and that are really in a space to make our people understand how powerful the intellect of Guyanese has been in the international space. And this particular jurist has made such a powerful contribution to not only this country but to the world,” the Vice-Chancellor added.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is the Vice-Chancellor’s hope that this book will be incorporated into the regional law schools’ curriculum so as to celebrate the life of a stalwart in the legal fraternity. “It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the University of Guyana and the country, to be receiving the book of a man of towering intellect,” said Prof. Mohamed Martin.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The book is available in black and white and coloured from Amazon and will also be available in the kindle electronic edition by October or November 2022.&nbsp; The writer is taking no royalties, so the book is available at Amazon’s minimum list price.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"img-responsive;\" src=\"https://uog.edu.gy/sites/default/files/attachments/image_0.png\" style=\"width:100%;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Mrs. Sharaon Correia.

These goals emerged from a thorough analysis and discussion of several studies and policy documents as well as future modelling around threats, risks, needs and opportunities in Guyana over the next 20 years. The objective of the Blueprinting process was to reform UG to make it more responsive and relevant to the rapidly changing (now hyper-disrupted) times ahead.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Goal 2 of the UG Blueprint 2040 is to make UG a Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Research in 8 strategic areas. One of those areas is Human Resiliency Systems. The only issue is that in the history of resilience work there is no such thing at this moment known as “Human Resiliency Systems”. In 2021, UG again hosted its follow up BluePrint Encounter 3, in which the University began to focus on how it would achieve the aspirational goals indicated and how and if the global Covid 19 Pandemic would impact on the BluePrint and the University in all its contexts. Six imperatives emerged from that conversation: 1) Need for work and earn (2) Modular (3) Mobile (4) self- directed (5) micro-degrees (6) speed (7) accessibility (8) Inclusivity and student centeredness (9) High value for money (10) Market and Future Responsiveness.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Indeed, the next 10-year programmatic cycle (2022-2032) for the UN contains 4 pillars; two of which speak to resilience and two to safety and security. Resiliency courses and inclusion of content on resiliency is also popping up all over the world especially in Ivy league University’s which have their focus firmly set on the future. However, so far, the framing of a discipline which can emerge to study and create a process of observing and recording what systems exist, how they work, how they can be sustained and developed or replicated as well as what threatens and challenges them is rare. Therefore, this is what UG is setting out to carve out: a single multi-disciplinary entity which will have very strong international support to study and develop the discipline of Human Resiliency systems.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Why Human resiliency is important</b> now, is because given the myriad of continuous multifaceted and complex threats facing the earth, resilience is most likely a key differentiating factor in the survival of the human species and life on this planet and possibly off it henceforth.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-- end about -->\r\n\r\n<div class=\"work\" id=\"work\">\r\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\r\n<div class=\"row d_flex\">\r\n<div class=\"col-md-7\">\r\n<div class=\"titlepage\">\r\n<h2>About <span class=\"blu\">IHRSSF</span></h2>\r\n\r\n<h3><b>Vision of IHRSSF </b></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>To create an international multi-disciplinary entity which will research and develop the discipline of Human resiliency systems.

Participants are expected to complete eight modules one<br />\r\nof which is any elective on a master’s programme whether 3 or 4 credits or a<br />\r\nforeign language. Students will need to satisfy a minimum of 35 or maximum of<br />\r\n36 credits to graduate. The Courses are as follows:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Semester I<br />\r\nMSD 5101: The Strategic Environment<br />\r\nThe module seeks to bring into focus the operating environment in which Guyana<br />\r\nexists, the major players who exert influence through varying interests, and the<br />\r\nimplications resulting from threats to these interests. The objective of the course<br />\r\nis to enable participants/students to: understand the interests of States and<br />\r\nInstitutions and appreciate how these interests determine, influence behavior and<br />\r\nshape policies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>MSD 5102: State Institutions and Governance<br />\r\nThis module seeks to inform on the political framework of governance and<br />\r\ninstitutional structures necessary for growth and development. It presents an<br />\r\nunderstanding of how government, public sector, private sector, civil society and<br />\r\nother key stakeholders interact to help shape good governance practices. The<br />\r\nobjectives of the course are to enable participants/students to understand the<br />\r\nconcept of governance and its relevance to the contemporary environment;<br />\r\nappreciate the role institutions play within the governance construct.; appreciate<br />\r\nthe need for public policies to promote good governance and develop the<br />\r\naptitude to make convincing recommendations of the most appropriate<br />\r\ndemocratic institutions and governance structures for the achievement of national<br />\r\npolicy, strategic and developmental goals.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>MSD 5103: Policy Formulation for Strategic Development<br />\r\nThis module identifies strategic studies in areas of policy formulation at the<br />\r\nnational, regional, and international levels. It takes a theoretical and practical</p>\r\n\r\n<p>6<br />\r\napproach by exposing participants to the dynamics of policies and to various<br />\r\nframeworks for policy development.<br />\r\nMSD 5104: Data and Information Management<br />\r\nIt is often said that “data is the new oil”. This module provides students with an<br />\r\nintroduction to the core concepts in data and information management and their<br />\r\napplication in organizational decision making. Data Management is concerned<br />\r\nwith the processes of capturing, organizing, and managing data as an<br />\r\norganizational resource with the goal of providing maximum benefits to an<br />\r\norganization, individual and Information Systems. Whereas Information<br />\r\nManagement is mainly concerned with the processes, technology and people<br />\r\nthat define and implement structures and controls over the processing, delivery<br />\r\nand usage of information in organizational management, decision making and<br />\r\nbusiness intelligence. To this end, this course introduces students to various<br />\r\ntools, techniques, approaches, and issues associated with these organizational<br />\r\nresource management goals. It acknowledges that academic rigour and practical<br />\r\nrelevance are important to the pursuit of these goals. In this regard, this course<br />\r\ntends toward practical relevance as it provides students with the opportunity to<br />\r\ncombine theory and practice. Students will collect data using different collection<br />\r\nmethods and analytical techniques in a practical decision-making context while<br />\r\nmaintaining requisite academic rigour. The preceding will serve as the basis for<br />\r\nstudent’s appreciation of the nexus between evidence-based organizational<br />\r\ndecision making and policy development</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Semester II<br />\r\nMSD 5201: Evolving Issues in Democracy and the Contemporary<br />\r\nEnvironment<br />\r\nThe module provides the historical context of political theories, their evolution,<br />\r\nand impact. Participants will be exposed to the fundamentals of the modern state<br />\r\nand the obligations such states have to this realm. The objectives of the course<br />\r\nare to enable participants/students to understand and appreciate the theories<br />\r\nand practices of democracy, and how they help shape relations with other<br />\r\ninternational and regional actors. It also equips students with the critical thinking<br />\r\nskills for participation in a democratic society.<br />\r\nMSD 5202: Strategic Leadership<br />\r\nThis module exposes students to the challenges of strategic leadership in an<br />\r\nincreasingly complex environment. It is anchored on the foundational principle<br />\r\nthat leadership is a behaviour and not a position; therefore, the module examines<br />\r\nstrategic leadership through the framework of what behaviours are required, what</p>\r\n\r\n<p>7<br />\r\nknowledge must be acquired, and what actions must be taken by a strategic<br />\r\nleader.<br />\r\nMSD 5203: Capstone Research<br />\r\nThis course seeks to guide students in the fundamentals of research which<br />\r\nculminates in a capstone project/thesis on a topical issue relating to strategic<br />\r\ndevelopment in their context.

Participants are expected to complete eight modules one<br />\r\nof which is any elective on a master’s programme whether 3 or 4 credits or a<br />\r\nforeign language. Students will need to satisfy a minimum of 35 or maximum of<br />\r\n36 credits to graduate. The Courses are as follows:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Semester I<br />\r\nMSD 5101: The Strategic Environment<br />\r\nThe module seeks to bring into focus the operating environment in which Guyana<br />\r\nexists, the major players who exert influence through varying interests, and the<br />\r\nimplications resulting from threats to these interests. The objective of the course<br />\r\nis to enable participants/students to: understand the interests of States and<br />\r\nInstitutions and appreciate how these interests determine, influence behavior and<br />\r\nshape policies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>MSD 5102: State Institutions and Governance<br />\r\nThis module seeks to inform on the political framework of governance and<br />\r\ninstitutional structures necessary for growth and development. It presents an<br />\r\nunderstanding of how government, public sector, private sector, civil society and<br />\r\nother key stakeholders interact to help shape good governance practices. The<br />\r\nobjectives of the course are to enable participants/students to understand the<br />\r\nconcept of governance and its relevance to the contemporary environment;<br />\r\nappreciate the role institutions play within the governance construct.; appreciate<br />\r\nthe need for public policies to promote good governance and develop the<br />\r\naptitude to make convincing recommendations of the most appropriate<br />\r\ndemocratic institutions and governance structures for the achievement of national<br />\r\npolicy, strategic and developmental goals.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>MSD 5103: Policy Formulation for Strategic Development<br />\r\nThis module identifies strategic studies in areas of policy formulation at the<br />\r\nnational, regional, and international levels. It takes a theoretical and practical</p>\r\n\r\n<p>6<br />\r\napproach by exposing participants to the dynamics of policies and to various<br />\r\nframeworks for policy development.<br />\r\nMSD 5104: Data and Information Management<br />\r\nIt is often said that “data is the new oil”. This module provides students with an<br />\r\nintroduction to the core concepts in data and information management and their<br />\r\napplication in organizational decision making. Data Management is concerned<br />\r\nwith the processes of capturing, organizing, and managing data as an<br />\r\norganizational resource with the goal of providing maximum benefits to an<br />\r\norganization, individual and Information Systems. Whereas Information<br />\r\nManagement is mainly concerned with the processes, technology and people<br />\r\nthat define and implement structures and controls over the processing, delivery<br />\r\nand usage of information in organizational management, decision making and<br />\r\nbusiness intelligence. To this end, this course introduces students to various<br />\r\ntools, techniques, approaches, and issues associated with these organizational<br />\r\nresource management goals. It acknowledges that academic rigour and practical<br />\r\nrelevance are important to the pursuit of these goals. In this regard, this course<br />\r\ntends toward practical relevance as it provides students with the opportunity to<br />\r\ncombine theory and practice. Students will collect data using different collection<br />\r\nmethods and analytical techniques in a practical decision-making context while<br />\r\nmaintaining requisite academic rigour. The preceding will serve as the basis for<br />\r\nstudent’s appreciation of the nexus between evidence-based organizational<br />\r\ndecision making and policy development</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Semester II<br />\r\nMSD 5201: Evolving Issues in Democracy and the Contemporary<br />\r\nEnvironment<br />\r\nThe module provides the historical context of political theories, their evolution,<br />\r\nand impact. Participants will be exposed to the fundamentals of the modern state<br />\r\nand the obligations such states have to this realm. The objectives of the course<br />\r\nare to enable participants/students to understand and appreciate the theories<br />\r\nand practices of democracy, and how they help shape relations with other<br />\r\ninternational and regional actors. It also equips students with the critical thinking<br />\r\nskills for participation in a democratic society.<br />\r\nMSD 5202: Strategic Leadership<br />\r\nThis module exposes students to the challenges of strategic leadership in an<br />\r\nincreasingly complex environment. It is anchored on the foundational principle<br />\r\nthat leadership is a behaviour and not a position; therefore, the module examines<br />\r\nstrategic leadership through the framework of what behaviours are required, what</p>\r\n\r\n<p>7<br />\r\nknowledge must be acquired, and what actions must be taken by a strategic<br />\r\nleader.<br />\r\nMSD 5203: Capstone Research<br />\r\nThis course seeks to guide students in the fundamentals of research which<br />\r\nculminates in a capstone project/thesis on a topical issue relating to strategic<br />\r\ndevelopment in their context. Students will also be exposed to critical thinking<br />\r\nskills as a necessary tool for writing and producing research which is well argued.<br />\r\nThe course will also seek to provide participants with an of understanding of the<br />\r\nresearch process and the basic structure of a research. Students will employ<br />\r\ncritical thinking skills while engaging with the literature and writing up research<br />\r\nand apply the tools of research in the conduct, preparation, and finalization of a<br />\r\nresearch project/thesis<br />\r\nSemester I OR II<br />\r\nWWW 5201: Any three/ four (3/4) credits Master level course (subject to<br />\r\napproval) as an elective<br />\r\nEntrance requirements:<br />\r\n● A first degree in any discipline.<br />\r\nOR<br />\r\n● A Diploma or Associate Degree plus five (5) years’ experiences at a<br />\r\nManagement level.<br />\r\nOR<br />\r\n● Any other qualification considered acceptable by the University of Guyana<br />\r\n● In instances where applicants do not have the requisite qualifications<br />\r\nfor entry into the programme a bridge programme could be offered for<br />\r\nmatriculation into the Masters.</p>\r\n', '', 'full_html'),

Whereas Information Management is mainly concerned with the processes, technology and people that define and implement structures and controls over the processing, delivery and usage of information in organizational management, decision making and business intelligence. To this end, this course introduces students to various tools, techniques, approaches, and issues associated with these organizational resource management goals. It acknowledges that academic rigour and practical relevance are important to the pursuit of these goals. In this regard, this course tends toward practical relevance as it provides students with the opportunity to combine theory and practice. Students will collect data using different collection methods and analytical techniques in a practical decision-making context while maintaining requisite academic rigour.

Post Graduate Certificate in Trauma and Grief Resilience - 14002S</h2>\r\n<h4><u>General Description</u></h4>\r\n<p>\r\n    Grief and trauma are public health issues. This course addresses the need for specialists in the treatment of trauma and grief. This is in response to the recent dramatic increase in tragedies and traumatic events that have had a negative impact on people\'s health (loss of livelihood, flood-related destruction, COVID-19 death, and abuse and displacement). Suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, and mental health issues may result from the nature of the trauma and other factors that may obstruct the healing process. Guyanese have limited access to high-quality mental health care, and professionals frequently lack the skills necessary to recognize and address the wide range of needs they have.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n    This course enhances foundational knowledge on grief and trauma, lived experiences of mental health, and core counselling skills in grief and trauma informed care, to empower practitioners to be effective mental health professionals. These include grief and trauma literacy, psychological intervention, creative interventions, and awareness of the impact trauma from exposure to violence, etc., has on health, behaviour, and relationships. This course is not to equip students to treat mental disorders but rather to enter the therapeutic space with a trauma informed lens to help develop appropriate interventions to promote healing, recovery, and resilience, by identifying distinct grief and trauma symptoms apart from depression and other mental disorders in clients. \r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><font color=\"#3a3838\"><font face=\"arial, sans-serif\">Cost: $192,500 or 895 USD inclusive of facilities fee ($25,000) and registration fee ($7,500) &nbsp;&nbsp;</font></font></div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"\">\r\n    <p><u><b>Entry requirements:</b></u></p>\r\n    \r\n    <ul>\r\n        <li>Applicants are required to possess a Degree in Social Work</li>\r\n        <u>OR</u>\r\n        <li>in a related Degree in the Social/Behavioural Sciences.</li>\r\n        <u>OR</u>\r\n        <li>Applicants with a Diploma /Associate Degree in Social Work/Behavioural Sciences would also be eligible to conduct the course along with a minimum of TWO Years work experience in the social/welfare service.</li>\r\n    </ul>\r\n\r\n    <p><u><b>Co-requisites:</b></u></p>\r\n    <ul>\r\n        <li>No Co- requisite or Pre-requisite is necessary for this course.

The VC underlined the significant contributions made by Ms. Moroney, noting that she would be proud of the initiative.&nbsp; She also expressed special thanks to Mr. David A. Fennel, Chairman of Reunion Gold Corporation for being the key impetus behind the awards.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the VC, the awardees of the scholarships, even though very deserving, should consider themselves fortunate “because this is not a scholarship that is given to any and every student, there were some stipulations, students had to be of very high sterling quality of 3.6 and above grade point average (GPA).”</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Additionally, Prof. Mohamed Martin noted, Ms. Moroney will be pleased to see female geology students being well represented in the selection process. “As I looked through the profiles, I saw quite a few young ladies; and I was so glad to see that as this field is mostly dominated by men. I am also happy to see the young men as we do not want our young men to fall behind, but we want you to be equal,” the Vice-Chancellor expressed.</p>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Managing Director of VNK Logistics, the company that provides logistical services to Reunion Gold Corporation, Ms. Glenis Beaton noted that Reunion Gold is always willing to give back to society.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Vice-President of Reunion Gold Corporation, Justin Vandertorn highlighted that the Corporation is very keen to support the geology industry in Guyana. Mr. Vandertorn said: “Getting good geologists in our industry is what we do well because we like to do events like this, and we like to support the University. We like to support students and we want people to understand what they are getting into when they come into an exploration career because an exploration career can be very rewarding.”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Ms. Verlyn Klass explained that the students were selected from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of her Faculty. She said: “We allowed all of our students to know of the offer and we encouraged them to apply. We looked at their GPA and we would have awarded those with the highest GPAs.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">“I, therefore, extend my congratulations to all of them for getting these scholarship awards. I understand someone shouted when they got the call, so, I know they are all grateful and we are very grateful to Reunion Gold for this offer,” Dean Klass added.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Industrial Intern Officer, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Mr. Anil James also expressed thanks to Reunion Gold Corporation for providing the scholarships to the students.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Responding on behalf of the students, one beneficiary, Garvin Douglas said: \"I was very excited when I received the call because honestly, I would have never expected to get an opportunity like this; it is quite spectacular because it inspires me, and I am sure it inspires other persons here to push until the end.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The students who were awarded the scholarships are: Claire Ceres, Chantel Setal, Sherri Ann Welcome, Fonda Major, Luanna Boodie, Shyon Niles, Hendricks Fernandes, Talissa Rawlins, Garvin Douglas, and Judiah Jomaine.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also present at the ceremony were the Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Mr. Basheer Khan and other University officials.</p>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To view the ceremony kindly click here: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/Xp52Oi9FsUs\">https://youtu.be/Xp52Oi9FsUs&nbsp;</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To view the photographs kindly click here: <a href=\"https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ivt-K96BHxG7mgQjV0ZIwB2UtOuK51ky?usp=sharing\">https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ivt-K96BHxG7mgQjV0ZIwB2UtOuK51ky?usp=sharing</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"/sites/default/files/attachments/Vice-Chancellor%2C%20XI%2C%20Prof.%20Paloma%20Mohamed%20Martin.jpg\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vice-Chancellor, XI, Prof. Paloma Mohamed Martin</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"/sites/default/files/attachments/Managing%20Director%20of%20VNK%20Logistics%2C%20Glenis%20Beaton.jpg\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Managing Director of VNK Logistics, Glenis Beaton</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"/sites/default/files/attachments/Exploration%20Vice-President%20of%20Reunion%20Gold%2C%20Justin%20Vandertorn.jpg\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Exploration Vice-President of Reunion Gold, Justin Vandertorn</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"/sites/default/files/attachments/Dean%20of%20UG%E2%80%99s%20Faculty%20of%20Engineering%20and%20Technology%20Verlyn%20Klass.jpg\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dean of UG’s Faculty of Engineering and Technology Verlyn Klass</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"/sites/default/files/attachments/Faculty%20of%20Engineering%20and%20Technology%20Industrial%20Intern%20Officer%2C%20Anil%20James.jpg\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Faculty of Engineering and Technology Industrial Intern Officer, Anil James</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"/sites/default/files/attachments/Garvin%20Douglas%2C%20student.jpg\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Garvin Douglas, student</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"/sites/default/files/attachments/Students%20receive%20scholarships%20from%20Reunion%20Gold%20Corporation.jpg\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ten University of Guyana, Faculty of Engineering and Technology Geology Students receive scholarships from Reunion Gold Corporation</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>###</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><u><strong>UG IN BRIEF</strong></u></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The University of Guyana, now in its 59th year, was founded in October 1963. “UG” as it is fondly referred to offers 150 programmes in over 60 disciplines in online, face-to-face or blended formats.&nbsp;UG&nbsp;delivers in a Guyana-based system across eight campuses.

The book is also designed to assist the teachers&nbsp; of the subject to provide the necessary guidance to the students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Author Ms Linda Johnson-Bhola, UG’s Head of Department for Geography and Lecturer&nbsp; in the Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences (FEES) said that the idea of preparing&nbsp; the book came as a result of her years involved in teaching Geography at the secondary&nbsp; school and university levels, examining SBAs and observing the difficulties and many&nbsp; missteps encountered by students undertaking field-based work.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ms Johnson-Bhola provided a detailed overview of the book. In her overview, she outlined&nbsp; the three sections in which the book is divided into. These are:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Section 1: Getting Started with the SBA&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This section introduces the readers to getting their SBAs done and outlines the aim and&nbsp; objectives, coursework requirements, general guidelines, and reasons for conducting the&nbsp; SBA.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Section 2: Explaining the four stages of the SBA preparation </strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Stage 1: Planning and Preparation</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At this stage, the students learn to prepare a structure to guide them as they prepare for&nbsp; fieldwork. This stage sets the tone for all that needs to be done from the beginning to the&nbsp; end of the SBA and this includes choosing a topic, selecting a title, formulating the aims or research questions, identifying the study location, identifying the data collection&nbsp; techniques, designing the data collection instruments, and selecting the appropriate&nbsp; tools/equipment to use.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Stage 2: Data Collection</strong>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This stage prepares the students to learn how to apply the various methods and&nbsp; techniques outlined in the previous stage. They will learn to do field sketching from&nbsp; observing the features being studied, administer questionnaires, and conduct interviews,&nbsp; undertake field measurements and address challenges that might be encountered while&nbsp; conducting the fieldwork.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Stage 3: Data analysis and Discussion&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For this stage, students will learn how to organise, present and communicate the data&nbsp; collected in stage 2. Here they will learn about the different illustrations (tables, graphs,&nbsp; charts, photographs) that can be used to present the data collected in the field and how&nbsp; these can be integrated in the discussion, how to avoid plagiarism, and citing and&nbsp; referencing the information obtained from textbooks and other secondary sources as well. Stage 4: Preparing the SBA Report&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This stage provides details about the format of the SBA Report. This information is&nbsp; provided in the syllabus and students are urged to go through this document carefully and&nbsp; use the guidelines provided to ensure that all of the information provided in the report&nbsp; preparation is followed.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Section Three: Presenting SBA Samples</strong>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The final section of the book presents two samples of SBA. There is also a glossary of some&nbsp; key terms used in the book.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In giving brief remarks, the University of Guyana’s Vice-Chancellor, XI, Prof. Paloma&nbsp; Mohamed Martin, commended the author on her excellent work and for working along&nbsp; with the UG Press to have the book published, noting that it will transcend through&nbsp; seasons and times in the area of geography for Guyana and the Caribbean.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Vice-Chancellor expressed that the University of Guyana is an engine of growth and&nbsp; direction for the entire country. “UG’s 2040 Blueprint allows us to be a model for the nation, and this is not only for how we behave but for what we produce and what we&nbsp; publish,” the VC noted.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Further, the VC highlighted: “I am sure the panel on the CSEC Geography Board will be&nbsp; very delighted to know that there is now a publication from the University of Guyana&nbsp; about how to prepare good passing SBAs.”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Senior Publication Officer, UG Press, Ms Melissa Bess in giving her remarks expressed:&nbsp; “This book is without a doubt, a treasure of a compilation. It will benefit not only&nbsp; Guyanese students but students across the region who wish to excel.”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Chair of the UG Press, Editorial Board, Prof. George Ken Danns also echoed his&nbsp; congratulations to Mrs Johnson-Bhola upon seeing this phenomenal book come to&nbsp; fruition.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Prof. Danns noted that the book has immense practical benefits for students in Guyana&nbsp; and the rest of the Caribbean, especially for students who are doing CSEC.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lecturer at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, St. Lucia, Mr Alexis Hubson&nbsp; provided an excellent review of the book which was read by Ms Shundell Durant.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to Mr Hubson, the book is a crucial and refreshing addition to the compendium&nbsp; of CSEC Geography resources. “For over a generation, examiners, educators, and students&nbsp; have grappled with the notion of what constitutes a good SBA. This book will solve this&nbsp; apparent mystery in a subtle but elegant way. It offers a very lucid comprehensive&nbsp; practical guide on how to undertake Geography School-Based Assessments.”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Institutional Advancement, Dr Mellissa Ifill in her brief remarks&nbsp; commended the author for plugging a very important gap that exists in our regional&nbsp; textbook offerings especially when it comes to the school-based assessment for&nbsp; Geography.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Deputy Vice-Chancellor posited: “This guide will not just be important for Geography&nbsp; students but for research in general for students, especially the first two sections of the&nbsp; book that deal with research design and data collection methods.”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dean of the Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Dr Temitope Oyedotun provided a profound and encouraging vote of thanks while UG’s Public Relations Officer,&nbsp; Ms Krest Cummings eloquently chaired the programme.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You can purchase a copy of the book at the University of Guyana Campus Store (Turkeyen&nbsp; Campus) and New Era Book and Gift shop (Courtyard Mall, Robb Street, Georgetown) for&nbsp; $2,500.

This leads to the pollution of streets, water bodies and the surrounding environment, posing the risk of flooding, degradation of land and marine species, all of which adversely affect the health of both humans and the environment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For her research project, Ms. Persaud collected more than 60 garbage bags of plastic bottles from two communities - Parfait Harmony Community and Plastic City in Vreed-en-hoop - as part of a clean-up drive. A significant amount of the plastic bottles was recycled for use in this experiment with the remainder being diverted to landfill.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The research process involved having the plastic bottles washed and hand chipped into flakes before being added into the modified cement mix at ratios of 5 and 10 percent. The ten percent HCBs met the requirements of the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) for compressive strength and was certified for use in building construction.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ms. Persaud expressed confidence that if a project of this nature is given the necessary support to expand&nbsp;on a much larger scale, it could be very successful on various fronts, including; providing entrepreneurial opportunities, reducing the level of plastic wastes that pollute our environment and lowering the overhead costs for producing HCBs by replacing some amount of sand with recycled bottles.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The innovator is hoping to embark on an awareness&nbsp;campaign that will seek to educate persons about the project so that they will understand the rationale behind using recycled plastic bottles to reduce the amount of sand needed in the block making process while at the same time addressing the issue of reducing the amount of wastes that goes into the environment.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Rice Husk and Rice Husk Ash in the Cement Block Making Process</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lecturer Isidro Espinosa, attached to the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, is in the preliminary stages of creating concrete with rice husk and rice husk ash, as a substitute for sand in the concrete block making process.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He explained rice husk is a by-product of the milling process and can be considered as a resource rather than a waste product.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Guyana produced more than 1 million tons of paddy in 2019 (GBTI, 2020) with its average equivalent in rice husk being about 200,000 metric tons. The innovator stated that rice husk&nbsp;can replace up to 30% of sand aggregate in the concrete making process since 80-90% of rice husk contains silicates which is the main component of sand (silica sand).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The benefits of using rice husk and rice husk ash include:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Zero waste output</li>\r\n	<li>Value is added to rice husk</li>\r\n	<li>Reduction in cost from raw materials in the construction industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>The preliminary test shows that the utilisation of rice husk and rice husk ash as a component in concrete block or brick making allows for buildings to improve thermal insulation for hot climates like Guyana. It also gives buildings a soundproof effect.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Sawdust in Block-Making Process</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The project is being led by Mr. Mark Austin, a student within the Department of Forestry, Faculty of Agriculture and Mr. Ewart Smith, a lecturer at UG and current PhD candidate at Trent University. It aims to utilise sawdust waste, which is an environmental hazard, to make cement blocks.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The objective of the project is to compare the rate of water absorption properties and compressive properties of sawdust blocks to determine their suitability for use in construction.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dean of the Faculty of the Agriculture and Forestry, Dr Lawrence Lewis explained that the project seeks to vary the ratio of the sawdust and the size of the sawdust to determine which can produce a composite block.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The project also utilises pre-treated sawdust removing the resin out of the wood which can&nbsp;inhibit the mixing and combining process of the sawdust.&nbsp;The blocks have met the ASTM standards for compressive strength and water holding capacity.</p>\r\n', '', 'full_html'),

The types of plant that are normally used when constructing green walls are succulents, ferns and ivies.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mr. Sauers explained: “Normally you would find these systems in more developed countries, they use it mainly for aesthetic appeal and to help with pollution.

As population increases and cities expand more green spaces are being displaced&nbsp;by buildings. The problem this poses is when the sun’s direct rays bounce off the concrete walls, it will permeate in that area. Since there are little to no plants to absorb the heat, the heat is trapped in the atmosphere creating a hot canyon-like environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Green walls can provide a middle ground between expansion of cities and preservation of green spaces. Green walls have the potential to allow for buildings and their surrounding areas to remain cool, lower the electricity consumption for buildings utilising air conditioning units (which contribute to the release of pollutants, greenhouse gas, in the air), improve public health by providing cleaner air while fostering a greener connection to the environment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mr. Sauers has begun construction of a green wall on his house to test the parameters of his research in aid of providing the necessary information required for the application of this technology within hot/humid climates.&nbsp;</p>\r\n', '', 'full_html'),
