Message from the President 2022/2023

Dr. Rohini Wadanamby
President/SLCM

Dear teachers, colleagues and the current and future microbiologists, I humbly appreciate and accept this well reputed and regarded title, the president of the SLCM for the year 2022 to 2023.
I am moved to recall, while mentioning that the words are inadequate to express our gratitude to founders and those who upgrade this professional college up to this level from it’s inception in 1969.

Having said that I would like to thank Dr. Geethika Patabandige and her council who completed a very successful year (2021- 2022) achieving several targets and completing all expected tasks with tremendous dedication despite all kinds of problems happening in the country. Her strong leadership is remarkable.
I like to warmly welcome and express my sincere gratitude to all the new council members who are agreed to work for the SLCM and the country for new academic year 2022 - 2023.
