On Monday August 29th, finally, our Journalism students begin/renew their UWI careers, starting at 9 a.m. with their Faculty Orientation. Monday marks both the beginning of an exciting adventure, and the fulfilment of a dream.
This programme was conceptalised by representatives of the media industry, in collaboration with the UWI, because both understood the importance of well-prepared, professional journalists to our country, and our democracy. Both institutions dream of a culture of practice where the fourth estate comes into its own in Trinidad and Tobago.
Our students too have told us of their own career dreams The very fact of their enrolment in the programme is clear testimony that they place a high value on their own development as professionals in the careers they have chosen. They dream of careers in which they will be known to demonstrate consistently high standards of performance, and will be able to advance, based on their reputations for excellence.
Now, different dreams converge. We go forward together.
