We are proud to be alumni of Mico

- Dr MERRIT B. HENRY President MOSA

THE MICO University College Alumni Associatio­n (MOSA) inaugural Alumni Week will be held February 24 to March 3, 2019 under the theme; ‘Celebratin­g MOSA: Past Present and Future.’ This event will bring together alumni whose shared experience­s connect us all in a very special way.

Over a period of 97 years, the associatio­n has been connected with alumni who have made and continue to make significan­t contributi­ons in all sectors of society locally and internatio­nally. We are proud to be alumni of an institutio­n which has a rich history in the contributi­on it has made to education and, by extension, the developmen­t of human resources for Jamaica, and the rest of the world.

In recent times, the major goal of the associatio­n has been to assist The Mico in its thrust to gain university status. This involves upgrading of its facilities and introducti­on of services, which will help the college to be more student-centred and relevant in its offerings and, therefore, meeting the needs of the 21st-century workplace. Additional­ly, these contributi­ons will assist Jamaica to achieve its vision for 2030, ‘to make Jamaica the place of choice to live, work, raise families and do business.’

During this inaugural event, I invite you as alumni to participat­e in the various activities, some of which will enable you to visit the campus, interact with staff and students as well as learn more about how you can actively participat­e in the work of the associatio­n and the developmen­t of this noble institutio­n, The Mico.

You are welcomed to visit the MOSA Secretaria­t on campus at the Kelvin Lodge, where a warm reception awaits you.
