Other Notable Pursuits to Secure Internships

UWI Cave Hill Students Engage International Monetary Fund (IMF) Leader The UWI Cave Hill Campus’ students were presented with a rare opportunity on June 16, 2022, to directly engage the leadership of the IMF, following an expression of interest from the IMF’s Managing Director, Dr Kristalina Georgieva, to discuss the IMF’s evolving partnership in the Caribbean region. She was visiting the Caribbean during the period of June 15-18, 2022. Titled “The Future of the Caribbean”, the event was moder- ated by Dr Simon Naitram, Lecturer in the Department of Economics, Cave Hill Campus. The session was embraced by the Campus and was seen as one that could inspire the students to think about how they could become genuine world-changers. It was also seen as an opportunity that would allow them to be exposed to the international finan- cial institution beyond what they may have read or seen in the media.

A small delegation from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs for Latin America and the Caribbean visited the Faculty of Science and Technology on May 12, 2022, to discuss synergies and potential opportunities for student engagement. The delegation included Ms Shelley Cheatham, Head of Office, Mr Dario Alvarez, Regional Disaster Advisor, and Mr Randy Warner, Information Management Assistant, United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office, Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean. SRC Resumes Annual Study Tour In the year under review, due to the lifting of the COVID-19 protocols across the world, the SRC decided to resume travel to Geneva for the annual Study Tour. The tour took place during the period, June 27-July 12, 2022.
