Message from The Dean

A warm welcome to the academic year 2021-2022!

On behalf of all our teaching and non-teaching staff within the Faculty of Social Sciences, we are happy that you have made the University of Guyana your choice to pursue your tertiary education and take this opportunity to congratulate you for making it this far. The Faculty of Social Sciences is excited that you are going to start your academic journey and career development with us. As we welcome you into our virtual and physical hallways, please be assured that all of us within the Faculty are committed to making your learning experiences the most productive one.

I ask that amidst the challenges of an ongoing pandemic that you stay engaged with us as we provide you the opportunities to experience teaching and learning excellence. Please make use of all of the student resources which the University has put in place to support you. This includes access to the online library, Turnitin to ensure that your work meets high academic standards as well as counseling and other administrative support. I urge you to take every measure to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 as this preoccupies us in this season.

Our dear students, I know that my colleagues within the Faculty of Social Sciences and across the University of Guyana will provide you with a fulfilling University experience. I, therefore, wish to remind you, however, that as you venture into academia, your success requires the following :

• Commitment to staying the course
• Caring for self mentally physically and spiritually
• Consideration of the rights of others and acting responsibly to uphold those rights

Welcome to Academic Year 2021/2022! We are excited to have you, and wish you well in your academic pursuits!!

Dr. Paulette Henry
Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences
