*Current position/role within the OHS: President

Every day brings forth promise and the capacity to make great things happen! Having benefitted from a sound intellectual and academic education at Harrison College between 1987 & 1994, Ms. Paulavette Atkinson has embraced the fact that a significant part of her life’s purpose involves giving back to the next generation of students and faculty of our illustrious alma mater.

With a personal philosophy that encompasses the belief “my journey is the destination”, she is as equally action-oriented as she is results-driven. In this vein she utilizes her boundless energy, professional expertise, passion for people and development and globe-trotting experiences to facilitate the mission of the Old Harrisonian Society.

Having taken a break in recent years to concentrate on marriage and motherhood, Paulavette seeks re-election to Team OHS to continue to propel work started on the Legacy Project through impetus on alumni engagement, resource acquisition, student mentorship as well as Public & Corporate Sector synergies. By enlightening others about our school’s ‘Heritage’ (for which she has had the privilege to be the Committee Chairperson) we will re-awaken our Kolij pride and re-ignite the flame needed to blaze a collective trail on the international stage, as we advance brand Harrison College to higher heights as a total quality academic institution.

Together we will achieve it!!! IN DEO FIDES.

Rudo functioned in leadership roles from a very young age where he was Headboy at primary school and an avid cub scout for the Hazelwood Troop.

During his years at Harrison College he enjoyed a number of sports of which basketball, table tennis and long distance running were his favourite. He became a scout briefly but left for the more rugged appeal of the Cadet Corps and was involved in Key Club in the latter years of his school life.

Rudo attended the University of the West Indies but his entrepreneurial spirit prompted an early exit and he joined the business world at the age of 22. He started as a network marketer and quickly transitioned into the sale of electronics. During one of his sales calls, he was invited to bring his sales expertise to the financial industry and it was here that he saw the opportunity to combine his love for sales and helping people. For the past 5 years he has won several awards as a Financial Advisor at Sagicor Life Inc, where he is a current Gold Producer. To complement the work that he does, he started his financial consultant company Stretching The Dollar (www.stretchingthedollar.com), to provide much needed advice for those struggling in these tough economic times. Just recently he got into farming and started Green Thumbs nursery at his St. George home.

Still Rudo felt like there was something more to give and his attendance at the Old Harrisonian Society Annual General Meeting gave him the opportunity to do just that. It was announced that a mentorship program for students was to be implemented and he jumped on the opportunity to help form what is now the Kolij Empowerment Mentorship program. He is also the treasurer for the society and hopes to help propel the school forward into its next phase of continued excellence.

Outside of work Rudo, is hardly the type to sit at home. Still the avid basketball player he captained the Market Hill Basketball team for several years and is a level 1 certified FIBA coach. He loves to play pool and is an excellent salsa dancer. He is a member of the SAGE toastmasters club and was recently installed as Vice President of Public Relations for the club.

In spite of all his activities Rudo puts family first, and enjoys travelling, spending time at the beach and movies with his beautiful wife and daughter.
