A recent fundraising trip to New York by a University of Guyana (UG) delegation secured $2,019,950 in contributions against $4,366,024 in expenditure on airfare and accommodation.
During the period of September 1 to September 6, 2016, UG Vice-Chancellor (VC) Ivelaw Griffith led a delegation of 13 individuals, consisting of administrative and academic staff and a student government executive to New York, as part of the university’s efforts to “cultivate ambassadors.”
The trip, which was initiated in response to an invitation from the Guyana Cultural Association of New York, Inc. to fund- and friend-raise at the Association’s 2016 Labour Day Weekend events, was hailed a success by Griffith upon his return in early October.
