Greetings Fellow Alums, Friends and Well-wishers. It is indeed an honor and a great privilege to have this opportunity in bring this message of celebration of our past, present and future experiences within and outside the walls of this wonderful institution, Church Teachers’ College (CTC).
On behalf of the the CTCAAi Board of Directors and all Members, we welcome you to our alumni website and look forward to your return in the days, months and years ahead. We want to hear from you. Your stories will contribute to the success of this site. You will be able to share memories of CTC; update us of your successes; make suggestions on improvements and inclusions. As we continue to develop this site you will find new content of interest about our members.
We are also anticipating having a great time in celebrating our Alma Mater’s 50th year in existence in July 2015. All past students are encouraged to plan for a great reunion on campus for this momentous occasion.
This Association was established in 2010 and launched on campus in 2011. Our main focus is to assist the students and help the college in its endeavors. In the spirit of reciprocation (R2R), we have identified a critical financial need among prospective and current students. The Association has established the Student Teachers’ Assistance through Reciprocation ‘STAR’ program to assist highly qualified students who wish to pursue a teacher education at CTC. We are pleased to announce that over JAM$1,000,000.00 have been allocated in helping some students to realize their dreams. We made contributions to the restoration of the swimming pool; we contributed to the reconstruction of the chapel.
We invite every past student to become active in the concept of R2R – Return to Reciprocate. We commend those whom have anonymously been giving back to the college and urge everyone to join the Association to present and operate with strength in numbers as we rise to the many challenges.
Blessings always,
Mike

Hepburn Davis 1st VP 2010 - current
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said the following: “I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.” It is in this spirit that I am proud to be a part of Church Teachers’ College Alumni Association. I commend the association on its remarkable growth and significant contribution to The College up to this point in time. We are a young organization guided by a simple principle. Return To Reciprocate. Let’s continue on the path we have set and apply the strategy we have developed and success will be inevitable.

I am excited about our website, as it was long overdue. We are looking to widen our outreach to members and potential members by building chapters.
A strong alumni association can provide support, advice, and assistance to its chapters. One of the most important services alums can perform for the Church Teachers’ College Alumni Association, Inc. is helping in membership recruitment and development. In order for the Association to continue providing quality programs and services, we must increase the active membership. Past students and friends who are active members of the Association become more informed about the college and are also more likely to participate in programs and events sponsored by the Alumni Association and their local chapter.
Your Board of Directors is continuing the Association’s mission of building a strong alumni fraternity in order to provide support to the current students of CTC, its principal, and staff. In doing so, we seek your participation in providing quality programs and services to our beneficiaries and your support in encouraging past students of the college to join the Association.
At present, our approach to increasing membership is dispensing information by using Facebook, our Yahoo! Group, and Graduates.com as well as word of mouth. We look forward to your assistance in continuing the growth of the Association by attending college and association events, writing articles about the Association, inviting past students to visit the Association’s websites, and sending me contact details of prospective members.
We look forward to hearing your ideas for membership growth; and I am available should you have any questions or comments regarding aspects of our membership growth.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information.
Warm CTC regards,
Ale – Membership Director
