THE COLLEGE BELL
A digital publication of the Harrison College & Queen’s College Alumni Associations
The Harrison College Queen's College Alumni Network (HCQCAN) Commemorative Publication
Grant Morris, an alumnus of Harrison College resident in Canada, whose brainchild the production of this historical book is, has worked with the school’s historian Ralph Jemmott, as well as alumni to create this landmark limited edition collectible.
The book is much more than a collection of bios. It reveals histories of Harrison College and Queen’s College and their impacts, contains selected articles on the contributions of past students to their home country or adopted country, and is choc full of motivational life stories. It is a true testament to the value of education.
Be sure to get your copy(ies) of this limited edition to illuminate and motivate future generations and contribute to our fundraising for priority projects of both schools.

For A Better Future
Who We Support
Rudo Catlin handing over elearning devices to Ms. Margaret Downie, Secretary Treasurer. at Harrison College
Challenges present opportunities. Covid-19 gave rise to the need to immediately close the digital inequality gap to ensure all students were enabled to continue learning as schools had to resort to online instruction.
The joint collaboration between the alumni bodies in Barbados, Canada, and the USA presented an opportunity for the network of associations to respond to the Government’s appeal for donations of elearning devices to close the digital divide enabling needy students to continue learning regardless of their socio-economic circumstances.
Our collective appeal to alumni locally and globally resulted in donation of 190 computers to the schools. Of these, some 50 were reserved for donation to newer secondary schools for use by needy students. We thank our alumni for their generous response.

Testimonials
Legacies are essential and should be preserved so that those who come after us will have a sense of what has gone before and what has shaped what they are benefiting from.
Donna Every, CA

A school’s legacy is linked to its traditions. They constitute the bonds that hold generations of graduates together. Alumni should be committed to giving back both financially and as mentors to help keep the legacy alive.
