President of Parliament Hon. drs. Gracita Arrindell was very pleased to learn about the latest developments regarding the University of St. Martin (USM) when its President Annelies van den Assem along with other reps made a presentation to the President last week.

Arrindell will inform the chairperson of parliament’s permanent committee on Education, Youth, Sports and Culture about the presentation and propose to the chairperson to also meet with USM.

The presentation described USM’s goals of self-sustainability; strengthening USM’s position within the community; USM becoming economically driven; USM becoming a hub in the region; and building up the student body.

Arrindell was informed about the issues that university is confronted with; the 2011 business plan and outcome; an accredited institution and an accredited education; USM new style, online and distance learning; and affiliation with other universities.

"I was very happy to hear about the on-going efforts to renew and restore the image of USM. The plans once fully implemented will be a win win for the university, the business sector, students and government," President of Parliament Hon. Gracita Arrindell said on Monday.

Annelies van den Assem was accompanied by USM Acting Dean of Academic Affairs Glen Yeung and member of USM board Al Wathey.
