In a landmark development for Caribbean higher education, St. George’s University (SGU) and T.A. Marryshow Community College (TAMCC) have formalized a comprehensive partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding signed on December 10. The agreement establishes an integrated educational framework designed to create seamless academic progression opportunities for Grenadian students.
The strategic collaboration will enable TAMCC graduates to transition directly into accelerated bachelor’s degree programs at SGU’s School of Arts and Sciences. Beyond articulation pathways, the partnership encompasses joint curriculum development, collaborative research initiatives, and community engagement programs across multiple disciplines including tourism and hospitality, information technology, natural sciences, and creative arts.
Dr. Marios Loukas, SGU President and Dean of the School of Medicine, emphasized the transformative potential of the alliance: “This partnership represents our commitment to educational accessibility and excellence. By creating structured pathways between institutions, we’re investing in both human capital development and regional advancement.”
The ceremonial signing at SGU’s Chancellor Charles Modica Campus brought together administrative leadership from both institutions. Dr. Wendy Grenade, Chair of the TAMCC Council, noted the agreement’s significance: “This collaboration allows us to leverage world-class resources while maintaining our commitment to accessible education. We’re building an integrated system that addresses both local needs and regional development goals.”
Implementation will be managed through a joint working group with representatives from both institutions. The initial agreement remains effective for four years with built-in provisions for renewal, signaling a long-term commitment to educational cooperation in the Eastern Caribbean.
