Internationalisation Student Exchange – Inbound and Outbound The Cave Hill Campus welcomed 25 inbound exchange/ study abroad students while 10 outbound students partic- ipated in the exchange programme. Seven Cave Hill students were awarded scholarships – six by the Canadian Government under the Emerging Leaders of the Americas Programme (ELAP) , and one under the Linguistic Exchanges and Innovative Learning through Mobility (ELAN) programme sponsored by the French Government. The annual pre-arrival and pre-departure information sessions were held virtually and the on-campus orientation sessions for inbound students were held in person for both semesters. The International Office participated in an information session on short-term mobility and scholarship opportuni- ties in Canada, hosted by The UWI Office of Global Affairs and the Canadian High Commission in Jamaica, as well as the 2nd annual virtual ELAN French Caribbean recruit- ment fair.
