“UTech, Jamaica to Me”
“Prof. Vasciannie is a cool person and he is very funny. He seems very
serious about UTech, Jamaica and I like him for that. The things I like
about being a student at UTech, Jamaica is that I learn and it is close to
my home. When I just came to this Institution, I was not much of an
“Academic Star”. However, being in my second year, I feel that I have learnt
more since I have been here. I also like the lecturers and the friends I have
met so far.”

In a vox pop on Wednesday, February 8, students on the
Papine campus were asked the following two questions.
What do you think of our new President? and What do you like
about being a student at UTech, Jamaica?
Read on to see their responses.
“Where the new President is concerned, I really don’t know him and I don’t
see him as much. The only time I see him is really when we are having
forums and nobody goes to those forums. I am honoured to be a UTech,
Jamaica student. I have always wanted to come to UTech and I am living my
dreams so big ups to UTech.”

“I didn’t know we had a new President, I thought Professor Colin
Gyles was still the President. I didn’t know that it changed. I like the
fact that there are a lot of options for food. I like my teachers because
they go above and beyond (I am in animations). I like how friendly
some of the students are because sometimes we can’t get notes and
they are like, “I got you”. Those are my top three things.”
Anthony Hibbert, Year 2
School of Computing & Information Technology
Faculty of Engineering & Computing
“I think that he has some great ideas to develop the institution better and
going forward, I believe that he will put some plans into actions. I like
being a student at UTech, it gets me closer to accomplishing my goals.”
