Georgetown, Guyana, January 1, 2020 --: The University of Guyana is pleased to announce the dates for its  second  Diaspora conference which was rescheduled  in 2019. The new dates are  May 28th – June 1st     2020.  The theme will be  “Investing in Guyana’s Emerging Business, Indigenous, Women and Youth Leaders”. This theme has been chosen in recognition of the need for all Guyanese at home and abroad to work together with inclusion, tolerance and cooperation for national and regional growth and development.

The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) and the University of Guyana (UG), this afternoon, signed an agreement that will see volunteers from the Volunteer Emergency Response Team (VERT) receiving an Introduction to Disaster Risk Management certificate from the University.
