 Honorary Doctorate for Principal Sankat
The University of New Brunswick (UNB) has granted an honorary degree to UWI St. Augustine Principal, Professor Clement Sankat at its spring graduation ceremonies, where six others were similarly honoured.
The Canadian University is among the oldest public universities in North America and the oldest English-language university in Canada. Its Fredericton campus, where Prof Sankat received his doctor of letters on May 19, was established in 1785.
“Clement Sankat has had a distinguished career as a scholar, an academic administrator and as a public servant,” said Dr Dan Coleman, UNB Fredericton’s Dean of Business Administration and one of Prof Sankat’s nominators.
“UWI St. Augustine is responsible for operating Roytec, UNB’s partner in education and business administration programmes in Trinidad and Tobago. Prof Sankat has for many years, been actively involved in the application and promotion of science and technology in Trinidad and Tobago and in the region. He is very deserving of this honorary degree.”
