FUTURE CARIBBEAN LEADERS INSTITUTE TO BE HELDAT UVI

Guiding the Caribbean into the 21st century is the theme of the fifth annual Global Leaders Institute at the University of the Virgin Islands. The two-week crash course begins at 8:30 a.m. on May 25.
More than 34 young persons from regional universities and colleges, as well as several mainland instituti ons, will participate in the program which will focus on three main areas: global business environment, leadership for tomorrow, and culture and communication.
"Our graduates are nurtured to become the lightning rods in their chosen field of endeavor. They are given the building blocks for excelling in a global environment," said Dr. Solomon Kabuka, director of the institute. And some pretty prestigious building blocks they are.
At 8:30 a.m. in Chase Auditorium at UVI Venezuelan Ambassador Simon Molina Duarte, first secretary general of the Association of Caribbean States, will deliver the keynote address, "Perspectives on Caribbean Integration in the New Millennium."
The summer institute is held each May and is open to college junior and seniors. For additional information, call (340) 693-1309.
