TRAINING STUDENT LEADERS
The Office of Student Services’ (OSSD’ s ) Director’s Leadership Institute was birthed out of a need to train the UWI student leader in matters of ethics and how this intersects with and is critical to theories and practices of leadership. It is a direct response to the changing needs of our current student leaders, who daily interface with ethical and moral dilemmas that question their character and test their capabilities to inspire and influence others. The Institute was delivered to student leaders across all the halls of residence and the commuting population, reaching upwards of 220 student leaders ac ross the Campus.

The Research and Publication and Graduate Awards (R&P) covered the cost of airfare for the team.
MENTORING SERVICES
Research indicates that compared to non-mentored individuals, those with mentors t end to be more satisfied with their careers, enjoy more promotions and higher income, report greater commitment to the organization or profession, and are more likely to mentor others in turn. Considering this, the Campus continually strengthens its Mentorship Agenda throughout its Faculties. The Office of Student Services’ (OSSD’s) Mentorship Programme is designed to strengthen the leadership and management skills of students and to connect them with The University and corporate leaders. It continues to be oversubscribed, as the number of students applying to participate in the Mentorship Programme is much larger than the number of suitable mentors registered for the programme. During the 2022/2023 academic year, 122 mentors and a corresponding number of mentees participated. The mentors assisted students in areas such as Career planning and professional guidance, Building self-confidence and self-esteem , and presented, generally, as role models for the student mentee .
