CETL's Lunch and Learn Seminar - Tips for Engaging Students in our Classrooms

Iset Sankofa forges ahead of the turntable constellation with a stunningly refreshing kinda sound. This is the 'all genres considered' milieu... where dusty Malian Blues takes a night stroll with Dub, Naija hip hop flirts dangerously with Kingston Dancehall grit,  and bubbly Brazilian Electronica steams a peace pipe with Afro-Jazz futurism. 
 
For this self-described 'bird', she is always reaching beyond the beyond and fetching back what she terms as musical source-code. In that, we can find a song or a groove so undeniable in it's appeal that it not only builds on the idea of the universality of music but of sound itself. Her musical selections have a way of running past the dance-able and the obvious. Usually, the next stop is a bold convergence of history and magic - one that playfully wields the listener into the lush, downright sensuous terrain that music can be. 
 
For Sankofa, hers is an imagined and realized terrain where digital divides are effortlesly bridged in 128 BPMs and new music lifts a hat to traditional sounds via a kind of time-travelling-self-discovering-remixing sort of aesthetic.

Plans for the Tournament scheduled for February 26 -28 at the Liguanea Club were unveiled at a press conference launch at UTech, today, Monday, February 24.  Coach and Tournament Director, Llocket McGregor noted that the UTech Tennis Classic was introduced to "grow the sport of tennis at the intercollegiate level."  He announced that some twenty participants have signed up to participate in the Classic which is open to schools, clubs and institutions.  Confirmed participants include tennis teams from UTech, UWI, GC Foster College and University College of the Caribbean (UCC).  The competition is still open to additional participants. 
 
The competition will run from 10:00 am each day with registration at 9:00 am. Entry fee is $2,000.  Spectators will be admitted free of cost.  McGregor noted that regular FIVB rules will apply for a 6 on 6 format and emphasized that “all teams are expected to be on time for their scheduled matches.” The competition comprises three events: men’s singles, ladies singles and mixed doubles.
 
Prof. Colin Gyles, Dean, Faculty of Science and Sport, UTech told the gathering of tennis players, students and members of the tennis fraternity that “tennis is one of the sports that we have embraced for a long time which is now starting to mushroom into one of the sports UTech should be known for.” He expressed hope that the game of tennis will be more strongly embraced on the UTech campus and that the Tennis Classic is one mechanism for enabling this outcome.  He noted with pride that UTech Knights emerged victors at the 2013 Intercollegiate Tennis Competition.
