Success story

Find an issue. Create the solution. Collect the pay cheque. And repeat.

That was the advice from millennial class valedictorian Zachary Phillips, who delivered the address on behalf of the 2017 graduating class at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, yesterday morning.

Phillips, who earned a Bachelor of Laws (first class honours), urged the graduates to do more than just collect the larger pay cheque.

Though rejoicing in the fact that they all made it as a group, Phillips reminded them that graduation was not the end of their journey. He asked that as they embark on the path to their own success they do not forget the bonds they formed, and he encouraged them to work towards the success of “our islands in the sun”. (YB)
