10 President s Message viii Undertaking graduate studies is undoubtedly a challenging, but exciting and rewarding period of study. Having acquired broad knowledge in your field of study, you have now taken the bold decision to build on that foundation. Congratulations to all our new graduate students! You have made an excellent choice to pursue further studies at the University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech). A UTech graduate degree will expose you to an intellectually rigorous environment that will equip you with the required knowledge and skills to prepare you to respond to a range of development issues now confronting us and those that will emerge in the future. Our institution is 51 years old, but as a young university of only fourteen (14) years, we are continuing to build on a clear strategic direction to expand UTech s capacity for applied, innovative research that can support national and regional development. In addition to its mandate of strengthening the University s capacity to provide robust academic courses of study, the School of Graduate Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship since its establishment in 2007 has been advancing entrepreneurial initiatives by linking graduate studies, research and consultancy. I implore our new graduate students to begin to think now of ways in which you can use your new found knowledge to create your own entrepreneurial ventures and to develop job opportunities for others. I welcome you wholeheartedly to the University of Technology, Jamaica the Home of World Class Athletes and the home of Excellence through Knowledge. As you pursue graduate studies, I urge you to also participate fully in sports, cultural, community service and other areas of campus life that will enrich your UTech experience. I am confident that your time spent at UTech will be rewarding and enjoyable and will put you on a path for lifelong learning, transformation and self-actualization. PROFESSOR THE HON. ERROL MORRISON, OJ

11 Vice President s Message G R A D U A T E S T U D I E S, R E S E A R C H & E N T R E P R E N E U R S H I P Iam pleased that you have chosen the University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech) as the place to continue your education. Our mission is to promote life-long learning, personal development and service to the community. The University is at a crucial point in its history where it aims to contribute to national growth and development by soliciting answers to some of the societal problems facing our nation, through graduate studies and applied research. In April 2007 the University established the virtual School of Graduate Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship (SGSRE), to replace the Office of Research and Graduate Studies (ORGS). The SGSRE is committed to ensuring that graduate courses are of an excellent standard. In addition, SGSRE is poised to provide support in research and publication, and is one of the University s income-generating centres. It is my strong belief that graduate research in all disciplines is crucial to the development of a vibrant economy and to the world at large. It produces the cadre of professionals necessary to build industry, government and educational institutions as well as entrepreneurship, which in turn boost national and regional development. In our efforts to expand the boundaries of knowledge and confirm the importance of graduate study at the University, we have identified strategies to respond to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. These include entrepreneurial ventures based on needs assessment and research, research fellowships, identifying and supporting focused research areas specific to the University s goals, performance monitoring, as well as providing linkages among graduate studies, research and consultancy. I implore you to discover the exciting opportunities for training with people of varied backgrounds, experiences and intellectual interests here at UTech, and assure you that we are committed to ensuring that this institution meets both your present and future academic needs. ix PROFESSOR GOSSETT OLIVER

12 Message from the UTECH GRADUATE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT x My fellow graduate and post-graduate students: welcome to UTech and the opportunity to pursue higher degree studies. Since our University started offering graduate/postgraduate degrees in the early 2000 s, several hundred students have graduated, and several hundreds more are currently enrolled. To this end, and with significant support from the School of Graduate Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship (SGSRE), we formed the UTech Graduate Students Association (UTGSA) in Mandate of the UTGSA The UTGSA exists to represent the collective interest of all current graduate students. To this end, all enrolled graduate/post-graduate students of the university are automatically members of the association. The work of the UTGSA is conducted via a steering committee consisting of representatives elected by their peers from their respective faculties, programmes and groups. The association participates in recruitment and orientation, facilitates inter-faculty and inter-disciplinary networking, and advocates on behalf of graduate/postgraduate students via the various boards that representatives of the association sit on. UTGSA is currently engaged in establishing a web portal to foster even greater information sharing and collaboration among UTech students, students at other universities with which we have Mousy, and access to online graduate/post-graduate student resources. I wish you success in your studies and look forward to working with you. The UTech Graduate Student Association stands ready to serve you and our other colleagues, and to also provide you with the opportunity to serve in whatever way you can. Those who have successfully completed their studies before us has gone on to distinguish themselves locally and internationally in academics, business, science and technology, and a variety of other fields. Those who follow us will no doubt be expecting us to blaze a trail for them to follow. Those to whom much is given are expected to give back even more, and with higher learning comes a greater sense of responsibility. Let us use what we have learnt and are learning, to change our country, our region, and the world into a better place. DAVID W. WHITE Interim President
