HONORARY GRADUATE
JUSTICE JEAN PERMANAND
Code of Rules
“For the Law graduates, it is likely that you will be entering the practice of the
profession as some of you have already done so, therefore, I must remind you of the
provisions of the Legal Profession Act, Chap.90:03 and to request you to ensure due
observance and also to keep in mind your annual subscriptions and contribution to the
Compensation Fund.
The Graduates of the Engineering Faculty, I wish to express the tremendous admiration
I have for engineers. I know that I could never perform the feats of an engineer! Not
only because of my size but the efforts that are to be put in and expected as a successful
engineer, the building of roads for example, Wrightson Road; bridges throughout Trinidad
and Tobago, ring roads and overpasses, the proposed causeway, perhaps I should not
mention the St. Joseph Bridge here! Would engineers be able to harness the humidity in the
atmosphere in order to cool buildings more efficiently? I feel our country owes a debt of
gratitude to the petroleum engineers and to know that they are sought after worldwide!”
VALEDICTORIAN
SOLANGE BAILEY
RememberThose We Touch
“We really have to reflect and think about how we might have shaped the life of someone else
while trying to mould our own futures. In the different responsibilities that we held in our various
clubs, whether it be president of the Law Society, secretary of Engineering Students Society or
simply group leader in a project, how did we treat the persons working with us? Did we show
respect, listen to their ideas, try to understand their points of view? Were we harshly critical
of those in a leadership position? One thing that is common to all of us is insecurity, which, in
itself, can be crippling, especially now, at a time when we are attempting to make our own path.
But within us all are also qualities that we are yet to discover, qualities that can be used for good
purpose; for ourselves and for those we touch every single day. We must first find the courage to
overcome our insecurities now, because many persons will be observing us. They will be looking to
us for an example of how to lead their lives.”
