YOUR Life has been devoted to ensuring that others are better prepared to lead their lives, this nation and the global community for the morrows ahead and do that which you think should be done, regardless of the background from whence the student comes.

THE dedication to duty and to teaching others at every institution where you’ve left your footprints, in writing books and leading organizations that have made significant impacts in the lives of the young people of this nation, setting standards and helping to retool curriculums and arcane learning routines under arduous circumstances amidst several challenges and constraints.

YOUR willingness to tackle small, big and serious issues with the wit and charm that only you can, and not limiting yourself to a traditional box, but opened to explore and reach beyond the walls of a classroom and beyond the great waters of this world to incorporate newer ideas and mode of operations, will forever be appreciated by us and many others.

AS a result of your forever tireless work you have done in the educational and administrative arenas in this nation, we can now boast of a vibrant polytechnic that is on par with many institutions, in conjunction with generations that will grow reading your handiwork.

NOW therefore, in consideration of your commitment, dedication to duty, bravery, fearless and sacrificial services to the young people of Liberia and the educational community as a whole, and on behalf of the Board of Advisors, the Management and Staff of this publication, please permit us to express our admiration for the firm and illuminating characters and qualities you continue to exhibit in the discharge of your duties and in pursuit of excellence in your work.

Congratulations, Madam Mary Laurene Browne, for you are an example to those who dare to teach more, reach more, impact more and build a better foundation for your nation as it goes through this rebuilding process, thank you and enjoy your roses of excellence while you still can!
