NASSAU, Bahamas -- Vice President of Advancement at The College of The Bahamas Dr. Ian Strachan has challenged Rotarians to invest in The College, given its legacy of transforming lives.
In his address to the Rotary Club of West Nassau recently Dr. Strachan, who is also the Acting Executive Vice President, classified The College as one of The Bahamas' "greatest success stories," as evidenced through its many accomplished and influential alumni.
"It is one of those things that we have gotten right; really, really right. We prepared a generation of leaders. The institution has never been perfect; it has never had all the resources it needed to do its work; but it has endured and has succeeded in its solemn purpose to offer opportunity to its people," he told the service club.
A 1988 graduate of The College, Dr. Strachan noted that the institution has given thousands of Bahamians "the opportunity to grow, to be challenged, to discover their gifts, to expand their horizons, to broaden the territory of their souls, to be mentored, to be tested and to be trained."
The College of The Bahamas has been moving decisively towards its goal of university status, building on its 40-year old legacy as the premiere institution of higher learning in The Bahamas. With construction underway on the Franklyn R. Wilson Graduate Centre at its Oakes Field Campus, the completion of a ten-year Master Plan and the addition of two independently offered graduate degree programmes, the institution is advancing in order to undergird the growth and development of The Bahamas.
