In early 1967 a small group of Caymanians and Americans launched the idea to establish a private, not for profit, independent institution of higher education in the Cayman Islands.  Floris McCoy McField, a Caymanian teacher initiated the idea to a founding committee organized by Dr’s. J. Hugh and Elsa Cummings.  After several years of planning and establishing itself financially, the International College of the Cayman Islands opened its doors to students on September 24, 1970.  In 1973, ICCI established the first radio station in the Cayman Islands Radio ICCI 101.1 FM.  During these 5 decades, ICCI has graduated 2,000 plus alumni that have worked in the private, public, and government sectors globally.

October 16, 2020, Radio ICCI 101.1 FM will broadcast live from the George Town Yacht Club starting at 2:00 pm with three one-hour segments; the Past, the Present, and the Future.  ICCI invites the people of the Cayman Islands to hear and embrace the struggles and successes of this small but mighty and noble institution that has been delivering exceptional tertiary education these 50 years.

At 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm the ICCI Board of Trustees, Alumni, Staff, Faculty, and Students invite the Cayman community to assemble at the George Town Yacht Club for a meet and greet to celebrate this monumental milestone.  There will be hors d’oeuvres, punch, ceremonial cake, and a cash bar.

At 5:30 pm, ICCI is proud to announce that His Excellency Governor Martyn Roper will be present for the recognition of the founders and pioneers of ICCI.
