<p>The collaboration between the Office of the Vice-Chancellor and the Centre for Communication Studies (CCS) of The University of Guyana brings to you this Volume 2: No. 4 edition of <em>Renaissance</em>, a monthly newsletter. <em>Renaissance </em>is the Vice-Chancellor’s medium of sharing with you our University’s developments.</p>

<p>The months of April, May and June were filled with activities. UG observed its Annual Sports Day and World Press Freedom Day. Reflect on the Faculty of Social Sciences’ (FSS) Department of Sociology and Centre for Communication Studies exhibitions along with UG’s activity to honour Professor Ulric Trotz.</p>

Additionally Grace Kennedy recently awarded some of our students with prizes and tuition as rewards for using their services. We thank the private sector for their interest in collaborating with UG for a more developed and sustainable university.</p>
