Today, the Grand Turk Campus of the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College (TCICC) swore in the 9th Executive Body of The Student Guild at a brief ceremony held in the campus’ Auditorium. College officials including the Academic Dean, Mrs. Claudia Smith and the Registrar, Mrs. Mandi Archbold; members of faculty, and other well wishers were in attendance.
This year’s Executive Body consists of President Dixie Smith, Vice-President Anya Thomas, Secretary Layton Lewis, Treasurer Michel’Lee Williams, and Public Relations Officer Donté Francis. Their leading objectives are to:
· Provide a forum for the expression and representation of student ideas and concerns
· Promote such activities that enhance the academic, social, spiritual and recreational life of college students
· Engage in community outreach activities as deemed appropriate to student/college development
Shelby Francis, a first year student in the General Studies Humanities Department and 2013 National CXC Awardee, delivered the Charge and reminded the Executive Body that they were elected to execute on the promises they made during their campaign and enhance the TCICC experience. President Dixie Smith in her response exclaimed, “This Executive Body is here for your every need; we will listen to your issues and concerns and ensure that they get the attention of administration. We want to make a difference and make the TCICC the institution of choice.” She stated that every member of the Executive Body enjoys working with others and looks forward to helping the students of the TCICC achieve their goals.
Collectively, the members of the Executive Body pledged to fulfil their duties to the best of their ability. They will begin focusing on health, anger management, and recreational programmes immediately; with a commitment to leaving an inspirational and indelible mark on the TCICC.
The TCICC family congratulates the members of the 2013/14 Executive Body and stands ready to lend support to their efforts.
