Desiree Rankine, a year-two biology and mathematics student with a 4.12-grade point average (GPA), and Kardine Dunkley, a first-year student whose GPA of 3.904 was the highest among the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU) students, were the star performers among the more than 200 students recently awarded for excellence in higher education at the Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College (SSTC) in St James.
Principal Dr Lorna Gow-Morrison said that the virtual ceremony was necessary to celebrate the students who have persevered despite the challenges, including uncertainties triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
