and the impact of the natural disasters which had affected the institution during the review period, namely Hurricane Elsa and the La Soufriere ash fall The positive approach towards renewal of the Faculty of Science and Technology The strong leadership at every level of the Campus, inclusive of the student body A strong record of core academic quality assurance processes involving the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, the Academic Quality Assurance Committee and the Board for Undergraduate Studies. It had been noted that many universities during the height of the pandemic had foregone curriculum development and quality assurance reviews, but that these processes had remained vibrant at Cave Hill. Clause 141 of the document stated: “Overall the maintenance of quality assurance and curriculum renewal during the pandemic has been exemplary. Many higher education institutions simply put these processes on hold. The Campus has ensured that, through these processes, the quality and relevance of programmes have been maintained with no backlog of reviews or curricular revisions”.
To announce year-long celebratory plans to mark Cave Hill’s Diamond Jubilee Year under the theme “Resolute and Resilient”, the Cave Hill Campus hosted a Media Launch on January 19, 2023 in the Jacqueline Wade Conference Room, Hilary McDonald Beckles Administration Complex. Speakers included the Prime Minister of Barbados, The Honourable Mia Amor Motley; The Honourable Kay McConney, Minister of Education, Technological and Vocational Training; Chairman of Campus Council, Sir Paul Altman; Vice-Chancellor of The University of the West Indies, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles and Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Professor Clive Landis.
