THE CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 2018

ongratulations to you the Graduating Class of 2018. You are entering a world where Ccritical 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)

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.

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.

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.

HONORARY GRADUAND MR SYLVESTER TULLOCH, CD MBA, BSc (Hons)

graduate of The Mico, Mr Sylvester Tulloch is A 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.

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.

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.
