THE UWI OPEN CAMPUS RE-LAUNCH IN TURKS AND CAICOS
The Open Campus relaunched the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) country site in March 2019 with much fanfare. 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 UWI Open Campus site was previously located on Grand Turk, before closing a few years ago. The relaunch, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth, Culture and Library Services, is in keeping with the TCI Government and the University’s commitment to improving access to tertiary education. During the Ceremony, the University paid tribute and presented appreciation plaques to former Resident Tutor, Dr. Carlton Mills; President and Vice President of the TCI Community College, Dr. Hubert Fulford; and Mr. Samuel Forbes and the Ministry of Education, Youth, Culture and Library Services.
The Hon. Karen Adams-Malcolm, Minister of Education, Youth, Culture and Library Services, Turks and Caicos Islands; Vice-Chancellor Sir Hilary Beckles; Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the Open Campus, Dr. Luz Longsworth; Premier, The Hon. Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson
