Editor: It is with great pleasure that I would like to congratulate all graduating from the UWI Global campus in St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) on November 11, 2023, and the Valedictorian, Ms Breya John. I would also like to take the opportunity to wish the recently retired Mrs Deborah Dalrymple, all the best in the future and thank her for her astute leadership of this institution. I also wish Mrs Camille Lackhram all the best in her new role as this educational institution keeps on evolving.

“From the Extra-Mural Department in 1948 evolved the School of Continuing Studies (SCS), and the further expansion of distance education services through UWIDITE and UWIDEC, to The UWI Open Campus, which was formally launched as part of the University’s 60th anniversary milestone in 2008. Commenting on the evolution, Vice-Chancellor Beckles said “This evolution to the Global Campus is both a strategic move and the next natural step in our already successful global strategy.

“We anticipate that the Global Campus will be a major pillar in the Revenue Revolution phase of our Triple A Strategy as through aggressive entrepreneurial activity it takes our excellent programme offerings online to the regional and global academic markets. This is not the first time in our 75-year legacy that we have had to evolve. We will go at it as One UWI, with our signature resolve and I have no doubt that our Global Campus will only expand our reputation as a world-class University rooted in the Caribbean.”

Thanks to the employees of the now named UWI Global campus who have always been so cordial and supportive to us over the years from the time of Dr Adrian Fraser when Baldwin King launched his Chemistry text (2002) and I launched my work on Michael Manley (2003) there. We would like to wish this initiative much success and all the best in the future. Continue the good work.
