School for Graduate Studies and Research
Project: Sip and Paint The inaugural Sip and Paint event, dubbed the Parent- Child edition, was held on May 27, 2023, with twenty-one attendees. Held in collaboration with The UWI Museum, the funds it raised are slated to support a regional bursary programme for postgraduate students, as well as the conservation and preservation of historical and art collections, inter alia . A major benefit of the project was the public relations aspect, as there was increased awareness about the work of both departments.

The School continued to oversee the provision and use of The UWI Postgraduate Research Funds and Research and Publications Funds across the campuses. For the reporting period 2022/2023 academic year, there was an overall reduction of 4% in the budgets made available from University Centre – BD$482,834 for Postgraduate Research, representing a 5% increase, and a 24% reduction for Research and Publications to BD$153,508. AGILITY REVENUE GENERATION Professional Development Workshop Internally, the School began the process of becoming more autonomous financially and contributing to The UWI’s revenues. To this end, a professional development workshop on the Fundamental Principles for Writing Policies and Procedures was held in July 2023, with forty- two participants from various government ministries, departments and agencies from across the anglophone Caribbean region (Grenada, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Guyana), as well as researchers and senior administrative professionals from the various campuses of The UWI. The proceeds will be used to fund student assistance to staff and support the School’s marketing initiatives, inter alia .
