We, the students of the University of the Virgin Islands' (UVI) Creative Leadership for Innovation and Change (CLIC) Doctoral Program, assert that Dr. Mohomodou Boncana should be awarded tenure posthumously.
Dr. Boncana ignited the love of research in students of various cohorts within UVI’s CLIC program and even drove many to publication. Dr. Boncana served on multiple Dissertation committees and ensured the level of perfection he demanded – he gave.
His CV includes:
Education
B. A., Ecole Normale Secondaire de San, Mali, 1984
B.S., Ecole Normale Superieure de Bamako, Mali, 1996
M.S., Oklahoma State University, 2004
M. STAT., University of Utah, 2012
Ph.D., University of Utah, 2010. (2012)
Dr. Boncana published many works - including books, articles, and in journals. His beloved students are working to curate his works to ensure this petition is supported.
We love Dr. Boncana - and believe he earned and deserves his tenureship awarded - even posthumously.
Dr. Mohomodou Boncana was a beacon of light, guiding students through some dark places of academic pursuits. His contagious enthusiasm reinforced with, “Excellent, excellent!” pushed me to understand various methodologies and supported my desire for continuous improvement in academia and life. Dr. Boncana died empty, giving his all to his students and UVI sacrificing his health and family time. Therefore, I concur with all petitioners that Dr. Mohomodou Boncana earned and deserves his tenure awarded posthumously.
