Dominica State College Honors the Late Luther Kosowan, & names the Carpentry & Construction Workshop after him

The Dominica State College (DSC) on Tuesday April 7th, 2025 paid tribute
to the late Luther Kosowan, a dedicated craftsman, mentor, and invaluable contributor to the
institution, with the installation of a commemorative plaque in the Carpentry Workshop—a
space he helped build and enhance.
The plaque, unveiled at a special ceremony attended by DSC faculty, students, and Mr.
Kosowan’s wife, Ruth Kosowan and supportive friends, serves as a permanent symbol of his
dedication, skill, and generosity.
A Legacy of Service and Craftsmanship
Mr. Kosowan’s journey with DSC began in 2013, and for over a decade, he played a pivotal role
in advancing the college’s Carpentry and Maintenance programs. His expertise as a carpenter,
welder, and machine repair specialist made him a cornerstone of the institution, where he
selflessly contributed his time, skills, and resources to benefit both students and faculty.
Among his many contributions, Mr. Kosowan was instrumental in facilitating DSC’s partnership
with the Emanuel Foundation in Canada and Thomas Foundation in the United Kingdom,
securing essential tools to enhance carpentry training.
His generosity extended beyond carpentry—he built classroom whiteboards, repaired essential
equipment, and tirelessly worked to improve DSC’s learning environment.
Honoring His Contributions
Speaking at the ceremony, Kimberly Benjamin, Marketing & Communications Officer at DSC,
highlighted the lasting impact of Mr. Kosowan’s work:
“Mr. Kosowan may no longer be with us physically, but his contributions will remain woven into
the very fabric of our institution. This plaque is a testament to his unwavering commitment,
ensuring that future generations of students and faculty will always remember and appreciate his
service.”
The installation of this plaque is a heartfelt tribute to a man whose dedication and craftsmanship
have left an indelible mark on DSC. His memory will continue to inspire and guide the next
generation of skilled professionals.
