It was decided that while the university students are home for the summer that there will be a summit held, where all university students and prospective students can come to discuss their experiences and concerns. The Summit will be held August 3rd 2016, and will be titled, “A Window to The Future”. Commissioner Wilson is looking forward to the summit and believes that this will create a better platform for communication between the Public Entity Saba and the students abroad.
