SHORTLY after she assumed responsibility as campus registrar at the Caribbean Graduate School of Theology (CGST), Dr Viviene Kerr was identified as the best person to take the institution to the next level as its new president.
According to Kerr, the quality of its programmes, lecturers, and its reputation have been the formidable ingredients for CGST success over the years.
Kerr said another key factor of the school's capacity to stay afloat is the ability to focus on its core programmes, which are a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology and a Master of Arts degree in Theology.
Reflecting on its role as a Christian institution in enhancing the growth and development of Jamaica and the region, Kerr added that the leadership of CGST has to remain focused on equipping its students to be strategic in reaching those who are hurting.
Other programmes currently being worked on include a continuous education scheme for graduates from the counselling psychology programme and a course to help pastors and other church members navigate the online space.
