This month’s featured alumnus is Dr. Colwayne Morris. Colwayne’s upbringing on the family farm in Belladrum, West Coast Berbice, fired his interest in agriculture. His academic journey has entailed training at GSA (Diploma, 2008), UG (B.Sc., 2012) and the University of Missouri (M.Sc., 2017; Ph.D., 2021). Discipline, dedication, and due diligence has consistently resulted in him being recognized at graduations. Thus, he was Best Graduating Practical Student at GSA (class of 2008) and Best Animal Science Student at the University of Guyana (class of 2012). Moreover, his outstanding scholarship has seen him receiving numerous awards at University of Missouri to fund his graduate studies and attend professional meetings. Additionally, the North Central Poultry Science Association recognizes him as an emerging leader in animal science (2023-2024)
Professionally, Dr. Morris has served as Veterinary Technician and Farm Supervisor at the Guyana School of Agriculture. Also, he has worked as Livestock Farm and Senior Field Extension Officer with Partners of the Americas. Presently, Dr. Morris is working as Poultry Technical Account Manager at Zinpro Corporation, USA.

With over a decade of experience, this GSA “Alumnus of the Month” has competencies in nutrition proficiency, least cost diet formulations, food safety, plus production and management for poultry and swine.

I am extremely humbled by this recognition by the Aulmi of the greatest Agricultural Institution in the Caribbean; the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA). My goal is to continue to inspire as I was inspired by those who came before me, though scholarship and mentorship. Thank you GSA Alumni!
