Quality Champions Training Workshop The inaugural training workshop for The UWI Quality Policy Champions was held over two half-days on July 17-18, 2019, in Mona Jamaica. Hosted by the Mona C-QMT, the workshop enabled the QAU and the University-QMT to engage key campus stakeholders in building The UWI’s quality ethos. There were 44 participants drawn from the Mona Campus, but also members of the Open Campus situated at Mona and Regional Headquarters staff; both the U-QMT Chair and the C-QMT Chair (Mona) attended and shared valuable insights.
It is important to note that quality improvements are led by the respective Campuses and Centre Quality Management Teams (C-QMTs), with coordination provided at the level of the University QMT chaired by PVC BUS and supported through the QAU.
