By Aaron Humes: As she leaves Belize’s shores for Guyana to become Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Dr. Carla Barnett is leaving behind a gift – a donation of books from her personal collection to the University of Belize Library.

Collected during her travels with the Caribbean Development Bank and in Government, the University says they “represent the scope and breadth of (her) scholarship and interest…a showcase of the profound dedication and quest for knowledge that no doubt has propelled her to some of the highest leadership positions in the region.”

Accepting for the University was interim President Dr. Vincent Palacio and Chair of the Faculty of Social Sciences Dr. Bernard Watler.

Dr. Barnett takes over from Irwin LaRocque this month.
