On Thursday September 29th, Premier of Nevis Hon. Mark Brantley was awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws by the University of Bolton.
Dr. Brantley received the award during the university’s 2022 Graduation ceremony, which also marked the birthday of Admiral Horatio Nelson.
Upon receiving the award, Dr. Brantley was quoted as saying “I reflected on my journey as a small poor boy from Scarborough, Nevis to be standing tall in Manchester, England receiving this honour. I am reminded that we are never limited by the circumstances of our birth but only by the extent of our ambitions. May every young boy and girl in Nevis and the wider Federation be encouraged to dream big dreams and to be the best that he or she can be.”
The University of Bolton is a public university in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England.
It has approximately 6,000 students and 700 academic and professional staff.
