There were also more than two dozen dissertations and research papers presented in simultaneous sessions across campus. The presentations, which covered a wide area of scholarship, were delivered by Moneague College lecturers plus others from several tertiary institutions, including Church Teachers’ College, the Mico University College, and Excelsior Community College.

Two of the more exciting student projects displayed food sustainability and creativity – one from the School of Hospitality and Tourism offering a range of interesting sweet potato products (tacos, cheese balls, punch); and the other from the Climate Smart Agro-processing programme offering tastings of goat milk chocolate ice-cream, ackee puree, and pineapple relish.
