ST. AUGUSTINE CAMPUS TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

The COVID-19 pandemic coincided with the celebration of the 60 th anniversary of the founding of the St. Augustine Campus. A time that would normally be used to look back and take stock, was instead spent hurtling into a future that is closer than anyone could have ever imagined. While the circumstances are indeed devastating for millions around the world, it provided the Campus with the opportunity to step up, show its resilience and its value by putting its 60 years of investment in the infrastructure, processes, research, knowledge generation and people to the service of the people of its host nation and the region. The St. Augustine Campus defined five core areas for strategic intervention and upon which its operational plan is based, in accordance with The UWI Triple A Strategic Plan: • Curriculum and Pedagogical Reform • Innovation and Entrepreneurship • Internal Process • Financial Processes • HR Review
