KINGSTON – The West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) yesterday announced a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The Dominica State College (DSC), a post-secondary institution located in the northern part of Roseau, Dominica.
This partnership supports WIPA’s Player Development and Welfare Programme, which will enable educational opportunities to WIPA members throughout the region.
The MOU was signed by WIPA President and CEO Wavell Hinds and DSC President Dr Donald Peters.
“We are happy to collaborate with The Dominica State College in an effort to create more opportunities in academia for our members,” said Hinds.
“WIPA has a mission to make knowledge accessible to all. This will contribute to the transformation of our members’ social and professional responsibility.”
WIPA members from the territories that constitute the Windward Islands will now have the option to further their education locally. The Dominica State College offers programmes ranging from Diplomas/Associate Degrees to Degree courses.
