The College of The Bahamas Invites Friends of The Bahamas in London to be a Part of the University Transition International Relations Liaison, Valdez K. Russell, was the invited speaker at a reception hosted at Bahamas House in London. The reception was a fall gathering for Friends of The Bahamas residing in London to meet High Commissioner, His Excellency Paul Farquharson, who is a strong advocate and supporter of the institution's transition from college of university. Russell told a group of 60 guests, "We need friends of The Bahamas from all around the world to be a part of the national development of our nation through educational engagement." He highlighted various capital projects of the institution and also reflected on the tremendous support of private donors who seek to enrich the college community and further develop a great nation. Russell encouraged guests to consider educational collaborations that would provide dynamic experiences for faculty, staff and students in key strategic areas. "Some of the areas of excellence for The College include the financial services sector and culinary and hospitality services. Another area that we will excel in internationally will be small island sustainability, due to the generosity of a ten-million dollar gift from a good friend of The College." The message of renewing friendship with The College of The Bahamas was warmly received and reiterated by His Excellency Paul Farquharson. The High Commissioner praised The College for its contributions to the nation and remarked, "The University of The Bahamas will be a renowned institution." Richard Moir serves as Chair of The Friends of The Bahamas that was founded by Sir Orville Turnquest and Sir Arthur A. Foulkes a decade ago. The objective of the organization is to promote Bahamian culture, commercial engagement and investment between the two countries and to encourage more Bahamians to pursue further education in The United Kingdom.
