CAVE HILL CAMPUS BARBADOS
ACCESS •
During the academic year 2019/2020, the Cave Hill Campus, once again demonstrated resilience in its effective and innovative responses, though faced with sustained financial challenges, coupled with the social, administrative, and other operational challenges unleashed by the global COVID-19 pandemic. With The UWI Triple A Strategic Plan as its compass, the Campus worked to improve Access through designing new programmes and improving the quality of teaching, learning and student development. It promoted Alignment through pursuing greater academic activism and public advocacy, while strengthening and improving its academic/industry/government research partnerships. Many of its greatest gains occurred in achieving Agility, through initiatives designed to improve process efficiency, cost reduction, service delivery, communication, and leverage technology to introduce new pedagogical approaches aimed at improving student success. The Campus continued to pursue the strategic goals of Access, Alignment and Agility, during the year under review, with Internationalisation and the Smart Campus Initiative as its overarching strategies.
