There is a glimmer of hope that the winds of change may encourage many gold medal recipients at the USP awards last night not to become part of the brain drain statistics.
33 graduates received special recognition for being outstanding in their various fields of study at a ceremony last night and much Fijivillage News spoke to share the same views.
Two time gold medalist in Masters of Science Thesis and Development Studies and a special awardee in Research Excellence Millicent Victoria Kado said she returned home as she has Fiji at heart.
Three time gold medalist in Accounting and Financial Management, Economics, and Mathematics Paritosh Deo who hails from Ba, hopes to use his knowledge to move the nation forward.
Chief Guest and the first recipient of a gold medal at USP Dr. Padma Narsey Lal challenged the graduates to use their individual and collective talents to their best abilities to define the kind of society we want to live in and want our children to grow up in.
