A pair of Canadore College profs is leaving for T.A. Marryshow Community College (TAMCC) in St. George’s, Grenada tomorrow to help with the grand opening of their new campus.
The trip commemorates nearly three years of work that oversaw the development of comprehensive environmental sustainability practices and programming, including course curriculum design and syllabus development required to meet the requirements of the Grenada’s National Training Agency.
Canadore has also done extensive work with TAMCC executives and employees to develop stronger student services and marketing practices.
Professors Derek Erickson and Samantha Hornell have been involved in the project since the very beginning.
“It’s exhilarating to see how the many moving parts of this partnership have come together,” said Erickson. “My colleagues and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the folks at TAMCC and the people of Grenada. Like we intended, we are confident that the work we have put in will result in a world-class environmental program that will benefit everyone.”
Erickson and Hornell will be arriving in Grenada this weekend to help install and train TAMCC employees on Canadore’s $60,000 equipment donation to the new campus, which ranges from safe drinking water technology to polarographic multi-meter probes and everything in between.
