AT A time when people worldwide are concerned about the moral decay, rising use of drugs, sexual immortality and lack of refinement, Northern Caribbean University continues to maintain its moral responsibility to its various publics and to God.
The challenges are many, but the institution's administration is committed to quality Christian education as an ever-present alternative in these difficult times. More and more students are leaving high schools around the world at 15 and 16 years of age and qualify to enter university. Even at this young age, they like older youths and mature students, have been exposed to the unrefined and coarse. Northern Caribbean University is committed to Christian education and cultural refinement designed to fit its graduates for quality service to God, to country and to man.
To the students and workers coming from as many as 35 different countries, the university presents an array of cultural experiences and promotes respect for the rich cultural heritage that these students and workers bring to its halls.
In keeping with the Christian ethos, one will not find smoking, consumption of alcohol or any other narcotic or substance which is known to be harmful to the body being permitted for use in its hallowed halls or in its recreational facilities. It is at this facility that rough stones are polished into fine diamonds. Exposure to the varied cultural programmes, and personal development activities helps to produce rounded individuals. The work study and manual arts programmes help to instil the sanctity of labour and hard work to achieve one's life's objectives.
After 81 years of existence, Northern Caribbean University still stands on the platform of high moral conduct and values built by its founders. At the first anniversary celebration of the proclamation of the university chapter, the church pastor, Dr. Denton Rhone, reminded the congregation that many of the top ivy-league universities in the world today started out as Christian institutions but gave in to intellectualism and secular humanism, thus abdicating their responsibility to feed the spiritual and moral man. Northern Caribbean University, he stated, will not follow sit, but will continue to grow from strength to strength, catering to the whole being; body, mind and spirit.
