 NASSAU, Bahamas -- College administrators recently gave new students entering The College of The Bahamas this spring sage advice on how to make the most of their college experience and successfully transition into higher education. This semester, approximately 500 new students enrolled at The College.
“Each and every one of you, when you graduate, will graduate from an institution that will not be The College of The Bahamas, but that will be The University of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas. What that university will look like, what it will feel like and the quality of its impact in the global arena will be defined, not only by me and the members of the Council, but it will also be defined by you,” College Council Mr. Alfred Sears told new students during a welcome ceremony.
College President Dr. Betsy Boze advised the students – primarily high school graduates – to responsibly exercise their independence.
“You are now going to be making your own decisions. You are the one who needs to learn to speak for yourself; mom and dad can’t fight your battles for you. So, you need to learn when to speak, who to speak with and how to speak respectfully,” she said.
