the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Barbados Accreditation Council, Mrs. Margo Lady Ann Hewitt presented the Re- accreditation Certificate to the Campus. Triple A Strategy In keeping with the Agility pillar of The UWI’s Triple A Strategy , the Campus relaunched the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) country site in March 2019 with much fanfare. The re-launch of the physical presence of The University of the West Indies in TCI was marked by a special ceremony for the re-opening of the site on Providenciales on Friday, March 15, 2019. A wide cross- section of stakeholders, including the Honourable Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson, Premier, and other government, education and visiting university officials attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Town Centre Mall. The impact of the relaunch of the site was felt immediately with enrolment in the TCI in Open Campus programmes jumping by over 50% in the first year of our operations. Increased Enrolment As the Campus works towards increasing access to learners of all ages and abilities, I am happy to report that for the January to July recruitment period 2019, there was an increase in the number of applications when compared to the previous three years. A total of 5,165 applications were received for Senate-approved programmes, with 4,072 for undergraduate programmes and 1,093 for graduate programmes.
