One Anguillian student, Yoshida Gumbs, earned her degrees at Midwestern State University’s Commencement Ceremony May 12, 2012. She was among 44 Caribbean students who also walked the stage.
The ceremonial weekend also featured a concert by Jamaican singer Wayne Wonder and Claudette Peters of Antigua who wowed the crowd of over 400. St. Kitts and Nevis ambassador, Jacinth Henry Martin was also on hand.
Yoshida Gumbs earned her bachelor of science in social work.
Keynote speaker, Jacinth Henry-Martin, St. Kitts and Nevis Ambassador to the US, urged the graduates to hold on to dreams and believe in miracles. She delivered a positive charge to them to be true to themselves, much to the delight of the attending crowd of over 400 parents, fellow students and well wishers.
Several Anguillian students have earned degrees from Midwestern since 1995 and are a part of the over 1000 who have been recruited in the 19 year history of the program.
