(1334, 'und', 'node_search', ' ug s school of entrepreneurship and business innovation introduces new masters in supply chain management ug s school of entrepreneurship and business innovation introduces new masters in supply chain management webmaster thu 10212021 1100 in response to a recognition of a skills gap within both the public and private sectors the university of guyana s school of entrepreneurship and business innovation sebi has introduced a new masters of science msc in supply chain management scm adding to the list of several new programmes being introduced by the university at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the 20212022 academic year the carefully crafted msc in supply chain management programme is intended to address some critical needs within guyana sebi considers this programme of critical importance in fulfilling its mandate to offer programmes relevant to national development the programme will be offered online and both local and foreign faculty will be utilized to deliver the curriculum the programme comprises of 42 credits which are to be completed over two 2 years five semesters to ensure that students gain more than theoretical exposure to the issues in this programme they are required to prepare a final project this final project is intended to provide them with an opportunity to show their understanding of issues critical to supply chain management and how these can be addressed for example how does a mining operation locate and move critical supplies to multiple interior locations given the current network of roads and rivers in a brief comment the dean of sebi prof leyland lucas said launching the msc in supply chain management is timely in guyana the programme is robust and satisfies the demands of both industry and academia and has been built around international and regional standards the programme makes extensive use of simulations to ensure that students receive both theoretical and practical exposure to relevant issues more importantly it requires students to examine critical and relevant issues that may impact on scm decisions rather than simply focusing on the theoretical issues of the field prof lucas added globally there are significant concerns about the pandemic s impact on the supply chain for industries with the pandemic came increased focus on online shopping and these products must be sourced from somewhere a recent publication stated that businesses might not be able to carry adequate stocks of products for the holiday season clearly scm is more than just a mundane issue knowing where inputs are being sourced from the reliability of suppliers the risks of exposure to flaws in the value chain system and how best to protect the organisation from such risks are all important issues to be considered no longer can trade barriers protect inefficient firms seeking to exploit market opportunities for example the revised caricom treaty of chaguaramas speaks specifically to the establishment of a single market economy csme while acknowledging that some economies and companies operating there might be disadvantaged and need special dispensation likewise the treaty emphasizes the need to provide opportunities for judicial and other forms of relief without violating the intent of the csme establishment these and similar initiatives in more advanced regional bodies have the ability to affect access to the most effective and efficient supply chains to support organizational performance so although public and private sector organisations that survive are expected to demonstrate dependability and reliability in the delivery of goods and services specific accommodations will still be necessary in light of unique regional conditions the msc supply chain management was drafted by a team from the school of entrepreneurship and business innovation sebi under the leadership of prof leyland m lucas dean of sebi the core drafters included ms teneisha johnny ms mandie mickle and ms carol webster sebi also launched a new bachelor of science bsc in sustainable tourism management the new bsc programme in sustainable tourism management has replaced the bachelor of arts in tourism and the associate of arts in tourism studies it is geared towards addressing the growing needs of guyana and the region by creating a new group of graduates who will possess the competence knowledge and practical skills to aid in 1 viewing sustainable tourism as a vital mechanism to the economic development of guyana 2 appreciating the imperativeness of balancing tourism the protection of the physical and social environment and economic development and 3 respecting the historical importance and knowledge of indigenous communities and valuing their contributions to development the programme is scheduled to commence online in late october 2021 it is comprised of 126 credits which are to be completed over four 4 years eight semesters and will be offered both online and facetoface modes the programme capitalizes on guyana s competitive advantage of being the world s number one ecotourism destination and the uniqueness of guyana s tourism resources while satisfying the demands of the industry it incorporates a strong combination of sebi s foundational courses and specialist tourism courses some of these exciting specialist tourism courses include ecotourism development history and culture tourism indigenous peoples and tourism community based tourism facilities attraction management facilities

there were lecturers who were driven to truly teach by example and to involve themselves in unheralded scholarly accomplishments these were the people who drove me to think deeply about this noble

about things far beyond our limited individual experiences a class that conveyed information with ease while allowing us students to learn more about ourselves why do we think the way we think why do we see what we see while neglecting to see other things why do we behave the way we do and act the way we do why do we speak as we do and relate to others in ways that we do this was joyous and

was a science student in high school but a small part of me knew i was in a place where i ought not to be i had the mind of a writer or creator or an artist they call us the dreamers i buried my true self deep down and continued pursuing a career in biology in year 2 week 1 as a biology major i went into my mother s room crying and telling her i can t do this anymore i admitted to her that i had been thinking of changing my major to communication studies for a while now and her reply was i know she had noticed that i was unhappy but was waiting for me to figure out who i truly am so i was

opportunity and the timing was right to start the university i had to try catching up with everyone else who were fresh out of high school and also i was working while coming to the university sometimes i was not getting any time off and those were very difficult days i had many days when i was lacking sleep it was difficult sometimes to complete the assignments and not feel sleepy in class

terms of the impact ug has had on his life budhan highlighted ug has allowed me to have a different outlook in life i am more confident and able to express myself better when i started ug it was an

relations 32yesrold riaz rupnarin will be graduating with a bachelor s degree in international relations like his colleagues the pomeroon resident was faced with many challenges including losing one of his parents while he was attending university but he was determined to persevere he explained financial constraints coming from a poor background my father passed away my mother is a pensioner my brother is disabled and my sister is a single parent mother so not having that financial backing was very hard i had to basically support myself through the four years of studies so sometimes it was quite hard because i had to miss certain experiences due to finance for example as international relations students in our first two years we had trips overseas with our lecturers but i had to miss them because of finance and other reasons the four years have been quite a trial and more so with the addition of the pandemic in the latter part of our studies we know international relations is a bit more physical and it was very hard to get that kind of experience while doing it online rupnarin added  stefan bowman bachelor s degree in economics 23yearold stefan bowman of mocha east bank of

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 according to the vicechancellor 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 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 vicechancellor added it is the vicechancellor 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
