PRESENTING:

The Mico University College

eginning in 1836, four teacher training institutions and hundreds of

elementary schools were established in the British Colonies in the West Indies, Mauritius and Seychelles by the Lady Mico Charity. This followed the successful efforts of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton to direct the resources of the Charity to the education of the children of the ex-slaves in these British Colonies (in the West Indies, Mauritius and Seychelles) where slavery was in the process of being abolished. In an era where denominational education was the norm, the defining feature of the Mico institutions was that they were of Christian influence but non-denominational.

Except in St Lucia, most Mico elementary schools did not survive the discontinuation of the Negro Education Grant in 1846 which was provided by the British Parliament (which ended in 1846). Those that survived were overtaken by the twin forces of denominational education and the entry of the Government of the Colonies into providing elementary education. The elementary schools in St Lucia survived the longest until the 1890s.

The only teacher training institution to survive into the 21st Century and that remains until today is The Mico in Kingston, Jamaica. Its founding in 1836 makes it the oldest teacher training institution in the Western Hemisphere and one of the oldest in the world rivalling the famed Battersea College in England.

The survival of The Mico in Kingston is rooted in four characteristics of the institution.

First, remaining true to its character as a Christian but non-denominational institution.

Second, its capacity to respond to the changing developmental needs of the Jamaican and Caribbean society.

Third, its ability to attract able and ambitious students and to provide them with high quality education.

Fourth, the performance of Mico graduates in society.

The Mico was founded as a co-educational institution. After the cessation of the Negro Education Grant, when it was determined that it was more economical to train native teachers, Mico transformed itself into a single-sex male institution training elementary native school teachers. In the 1950s, it became co-educational again and remains so. When the Government of Jamaica expanded secondary education in the 1960s, the junior secondary schools were introduced. The Mico included in its portfolio the training of teachers for the junior secondary schools. By the end of the 1970s, The Mico further expanded its

training of teachers for secondary schools to cover the entire range of secondary education. By then, it had become the institution, which was training the largest number of secondary school teachers in the country.

In this same period, the Government started training teachers for children with special needs, as well as funding for the training of teachers for these schools. Consequently, The Mico was selected by the Government as the college to offer this training. By the 1980s, The Mico was not only providing such teachers for schools in Jamaica, but for the entire English-speaking Caribbean. In addition, through assistance from the Government of the Netherlands, the College established The Mico College Diagnostic and Therapeutic Centre (The CARE Centre); to diagnose the learning challenges of multiple handicapped children and design individualised instructional techniques for these students. This centre is the only one of its kind in the Commonwealth Caribbean and has gained international recognition.

The Mico and the University of the West Indies (UWI), pioneered a relationship in the area of special education in which the bachelor’s degree in Special Education was jointly taught at the college using the facilities of the CARE Centre. Through this arrangement, Mico became an affiliate of the University of the West Indies and gained the experience of offering programmes at the degree level.

The record of achievement, in successfully taking on new challenges has earned for the college the reputation of being a leader in educational development in Jamaica and the Caribbean. In seeking to meet the current challenges of Jamaica and the Caribbean, The Mico has substantially increased tertiary education enrolment by offering degree programmes to greater number of citizens. It is no surprise therefore, that in 2006, the Ministry of Education by an Act of Parliament upgraded The Mico to a University College and mandated it to make the majority of its offerings degree programmes in teacher education and related areas.

The Mico University College now offers undergraduate degree programmes through our three faculties: (1) Education; (2) Humanities & Liberal Arts; and (3) Science and Technology.

Additionally, The Mico also offers five (5) masters programmes through its Graduate School of Education in collaboration with its Institute of Technological and Educational Research (ITER).

C ongratulations to you the

Graduating Class of 2018. You

are entering a world where

critical thinking skills are essential to

make ethical and sensible distinctions

as you navigate the various nuances of

“truths” and “facts”. But you can enter

that world with confidence, knowing that

what you learnt at The Mico will always

stand you in good stead.

At The Mico you have –

developed the ability to think

and be discerning;

been encouraged to be open to

change, and be adaptable;

been encouraged to be a

lifelong learner, as learning how to learn is a powerful tool

learnt not to be paralysed by fear or failure;

been exposed to The Mico values of Integrity, Excellence in Performance,

Leadership and Service to others

Having benefitted from your sojourn at The Mico, much will be expected of

you wherever you find yourself. The Mico has provided you with the capabilities to

be able professionals and practitioners possessed of the knowledge and skills

required in your respective fields. You have been tested and found to be

competent. But competence is never sufficient if you are to serve the common

good. Competence without conscience is the fountain head of greed, self-

aggrandizement and the abuse of power, resources and status. To truly transform

or redeem a society, competence must be combined with ethical standards.

Graduates, go forth from here not just celebrating your personal success but

embracing a personal responsibility to making a significant contribution to the

world in which you live. Be a change agent. You cannot be responsible for how

you found the world but you must accept responsibility for how you leave it for the

succeeding generation.

Congratulations on reaching this stage of your professional development. Set

new goals. Seek new horizons. Continue to make a significant difference to your

world, and God bless you in all that you do.

Roderick Karl James, CD, EdD (Honoris Causa)

ear MICO CLASS OF 2018, you

are graduating at a time when

there is a Global Call to Action

for all countries to give the

highest priority to Human Development.

Your graduation from THE MICO is therefore

timely for two reasons.

First, your successful completion of your

programme of studies and your entry into a

variety of jobs will assist Jamaica to respond

to this call for focused attention on

development of our human resources.

Secondly, it is the expectation that you

will be engaged in a chain reaction by

continuing the process of development of our

Human Capital through the contributions you will make wherever you work.

To whom much is given, much is expected. So Jamaica awaits you with hope

and excitement to play your part in helping us to achieve the most important core

goal of Vision 2030. This is: to empower our people to achieve their fullest

potential.

So now the baton is passed to you on this the occasion of your Graduation

from THE MICO. I exhort you to run your leg well as you assist our country to win

the race of Human Development for the sustained success and progress of our

country, Jamaica land we love. We welcomed you when you entered our arena of

learning with the commitment to assist you to achieve your aspirations in life.

Having kept our end of the bargain we now send you forth from THE MICO to

be ambassadors of our core values- Leadership, Service for the upliftment of

others, Integrity, and Excellence in Performance.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

May God continue to bless, guide, protect and inspire you wherever you live

and serve.

THE PRO-CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE

TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 2018

o the class of 2018,

congratulations! You have

accomplished much. Challenges

there were, but you have

overcome, evident in your graduation ceremony

in which we now celebrate.

I urge you, 21st century educators, to lead

in what you have been exposed to at The

Mico—creating healthy student-centred

environments where learning is inclusive,

interactive and meaningful. I charge you to be

Brand Ambassadors of your beloved alma

mater.

Having joined one of the oldest institutions

and one with such a rich history and legacy, you

are expected to live up to the noble traditions

and values that embrace excellence in all endeavours. To be a Miconian means

commitment to scholarship and intellectual development; it means being willing to

serve; it means leading and building learning communities; it means being

committed to life-long learning; it means being morally sound. Having joined one

of the largest academic communities in this region, we expect no less than

embracing our core value of being optimally rounded.

Your batch is quite fortunate in being beneficiaries of our first phase of

realizing our dream of being a Smart College, an integral part of our Strategic

Plan. I urge you to give back to your alma mater. You have been groomed and

equipped with the skills, knowledge and aptitude to contribute to your schools,

other places of work, your nation and the world.

So I charge and challenge you to demonstrate excellence in your academic

and professional pursuits. Be true to our core values. Continue to research and

contribute to the academic community. Above all, as a teacher you are a leader, a

model and moral compass in a society that sometimes seems to have lost its way.

May God bless you.

Dr. Asburn Pinnock, JP

GRADUATING CLASS OF 2018

GUEST SPEAKER & HONORARY GRADUAND

HON. EARL JARRETT, OJ, CD, JP HON. LLD, FCA, MSC

E arl Jarrett is the Chief

Executive Officer of The

Jamaica National Group, a

multinational organisation with offices

and subsidiaries in Jamaica, the United

Kingdom, Canada, the United States of

America and the Cayman Islands.

Among his numerous

accomplishments and accolades

include being Chairman: Jamaica

Automobile Association; Jamaica

Cancer Society; Jamaican Diaspora

Foundation, and Mona Geoinformatics

Institute. He serves on the boards of several local and international

organisations, such as, the Edna Manley College Arts Foundation and the

Gleaner Company’s UK and North American Boards. He is Trustee, Dudley

Grant Memorial Trust, the YWCA Trust, Caribbean Council (UK) and

Trustee Member/Secretary of FIA Foundation. He has served as Deputy

Chairman of the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), Deputy Chairman JAMPRO,

Council Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Jamaica and

President of the Rotary Club of New Kingston.

A chartered accountant by training but an entrepreneurial executive by

instinct, Mr Jarrett’s transformation of The Jamaica National Group has been

phenomenal. Group assets have grown from $17 billion in 1999 to $200

billion today. With branches all over Jamaica, the workforce has moved from

500 to 1,600. One of the dominant non-government mortgage players in

Jamaica, JN Bank has more than 600,000 members and approximately

20,000 persons who access mortgages from the company.

His extensive accomplishments cannot be seen in isolation. His father,

an illustrious Miconian, Conex Stern Jarrett, has contributed to his son’s

path of service, success and academic prowess. No stranger to leadership

and community building, his father was part of the group of young, ambitious

educators, anxious to play their role in charting the path for independent

Jamaica.

Earl Jarrett has taken the mantle with pride and his national contribution

to the financial sector has not gone unnoticed. In October 2018, he was

awarded a second national honour-- the Order of Jamaica (OJ), for his

exceptional contribution to the banking and financial sectors, public service

and volunteerism. Undoubtedly, The Mico’s core values resonate with his

philosophy of respect and customer engagement, hallmarks for his success

as leader and brand-builder.

A graduate of The Mico,

Mr Sylvester Tulloch is

the Chief Executive

Officer of Kemtek Development and

Planning. With almost 30 years

experience in the real estate industry,

Mr Tulloch’s handiwork is evident

especially in the development of

residential units on the North Coast.

Under his solid leadership,

Kemtek’s projects have addressed

the housing and social needs of

Jamaicans through the development

of gated communities, with amenities such as open parks, tennis courts,

swimming pools and gym facilities. Developing large plots of land into

residential communities is his specialty and the company’s mantra is to

complete houses of the highest standard, as customer satisfaction is

deemed the driving force behind every construction.

Always keenly aware of the core values of his alma mater, Mr Tulloch

continues to invest in the human capital and equally, in infrastructural

development. He has generously donated to The Mico’s scholarship fund for

needy students, and by supporting the sports programmes through

sponsorship of the annual Penn Relays. However, one of his most

noteworthy and eye-catching contributions is towards the construction of the

gate and entrance.

Apart from his financial contributions, Mr Tulloch invests his time at the

institution so close to his heart. He chairs The Mico Foundation, whose

mission is the institution’s sustainability in an increasingly competitive higher

education landscape.

His contributions extend beyond The Mico. Among the institutions and

organizations under his leadership are the Agricultural Credit Bank, where

he served as Director of Projects Research and Planning and Director of

Research and Planning. Currently, he serves as Director and Vice Chairman

of the Housing Agency of Jamaica.

In 2011, The Mico University College recognized him as one of its

distinguished alumni, in the celebration of the institution’s 175th anniversary.

In 2015, he received the St Catherine Appreciation Award for outstanding

service in the field of community development. His most recent honour

brought him national recognition as he was awarded the Order of Distinction,

Commander Class in 2017.

Mr Tulloch is married to Eulyn Tulloch for over 40 years and is the

proud father of four grown sons.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

The doctoral gown worn by the Honorary Graduands is made of solid gold with long sleeves and cuffs. There are three black bars of velvet on the sleeves. The gown is lined at the front

with 4” wide black velvet.

The hood is of black shell lined with inner gold at top, white in the middle and gold at the

bottom; bound all around with white.

A black velvet beret with gold silky tassel completes the doctoral academic regalia.

The colours black and gold are the colours of The Mico University College.

THE MACE

The Mico University Mace was designed to capture the ethos of an authentic Jamaican institution with an international reach primarily in teacher education but also in diverse

disciplines in humanities and liberal arts.

The Mace is the highest official symbol of the university which embodies the objectives and

mission of the university. It comprises of the:

Head:- This is made of the original University crest which is constructed in the

pewter and symbolizes the connection between the past, present and future. The crest sits on top of a sphere, which represents the world signifying the internal reach of the university. Beneath the sphere is the crucible, which represents the

melting pot of knowledge.

Shaft:- The shaft is constructed from native Jamaican cedar. It is conical in shape

tapering from 3 ¼ inches to 2 inches over a length of 30 inches. At the top of the shaft is the name band which is silver superimposed on bronze. The hand grip is

made of bronze.

Tail:- The tail of the mace is made of bronze in the shape of two open books

signifying the university’s mission of exposing knowledge and education directly or

indirectly to all who come within its reach.

Designed by Burchell Duhaney Crest constructed by Philip Supersad Metal embellishment constructed by C. Garth Sanguinette Wooden base constructed by Mark Haughton

THE CHANCELLOR’S MEDALLION

The medallion is the symbol of authority of the Chancellor who is the ceremonial head of The Mico University College. It must be worn at all university functions at which the Chancellor officiates or is in attendance. It should also be worn at the first

meeting of the Board of Directors each year.

The medallion is made of sterling silver and 14K gold. It has a basic circular shape in sterling silver signifying the continuous, committed and uncompromising service to the university. The golden flames on each side of the circular ring depict the passion, quality educational and directional leadership that the Chancellor brings in guiding the path of the university. The circular ring flanks a golden disk that carries the crest of the university and is firmly anchored in the centre of the medallion. This signifies that the protection of the university is at the core of the Chancellor’s responsibility as chief ceremonial leader. The circular disk is however suspended in the centre of the outer ring, by three points, signifying the independence that is given to the administrative leaders to carry out the functions of the university on the three main planks: administrative integrity, academic excellence and financial

stability.

The chain is made of sterling silver bars linked to miniature golden open books and is attached by small rings to the inscription "Chancellor" from which the pendant hangs. The open books symbolize scholarship. The link to the inscription "Chancellor" speaks to the over-arching presence of the Chancellor in ensuring the

maintenance of scholarly work at all levels of the university.

This medallion was designed by Burchell Duhaney, a graduate, who studied Art and Crafts at The Mico. It should be noted that the Chancellor with his medal of authority must attend the first Board of Directors meeting annually.

THE UNIVERISTY COLLEGE SONG

Let us remember the names of our Founders, Honour and Laud them, acclaim and revere, Take them for models of action and conduct, Guides and inspirers throughout our career. Patient endurance, unstinted devotion, Passion and service for others their dow’r, Never they yielded to forces opposing, Stayed not their work for the space of an hour. When we go forth from the walls of the Mico, Forth to lead others as we have been led, See that we hold to ideals that are lofty, Emulate Mico’s illustrious dead. Onward forever then children of the Mico, Build them a monument shining and great, Give them the witness of noble ambitions, Labour as they did for GOD and the State. Life opens out with its vital decisions, Trials, perplexities, trouble and pain, See that we lose not the hopes and the visions, Breathe not the spirit of Mico in vain. When for the future in far-away places, Tenderly time to our minds may restore, Voices familiar and friendly old faces, Shall we not long for the Mico once more? Refrain: With your might, with your might, with your might, with your might, with your might! What your hands find to do - that’s the way! With a will in your work and your play With your might, with your might.
