Statement from The College of The Bahamas on the Passing of Rt. Rev. Michael Eldon, CMGThe College of The Bahamas extends its condolences to Dr. Keva Bethel, President Emerita and Scholar in Residence and Dr. Nicolette Bethel, Associate Professor, School of Social Sciences, on the passing of their brother and uncle, Rt. Rev. Bishop Michael Eldon. The College and the country mourns the passing of a legend, who led by his personal convictions and worked tirelessly to develop the spiritual and intellectual foundation of an independent Bahamian people. As the first Bahamian Anglican Bishop of The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands, his passion for education and love of God and humanity was ever present in classrooms, churches and communities across The Bahamas. Bishop Eldon served as founding Chairman of The College of The Bahamas' Board of Directors from 1975 to 1995. He was named Chairman Emeritus of The College of The Bahamas in 2004. In 2006, the Thompson Boulevard Complex was named in his honour. At this sad time, our hearts go out to the Eldon family and the people of The Bahamas. Bishop Eldon was a valued pillar of our institution. He will be greatly missed.
