PRINCIPAL’S OVERVIEW PROFESSOR DENSIL A. WILLIAMS Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal
A cademic Year 2022/2023 was no ordinary one for the Mona Campus. It marked the first full year of operations post the COVID-19 pandemic. By all measures, it must have been an awesome task for the leadership to re-imagine the Campus to operate in the new normal of teaching and learning following a global pandemic. Professor Dale Webber and his team must be congratulated and celebrated for steadying the proverbial ship and ensuring that the Campus’s operations remained nimble as it tries to meet the needs of the community in those unsettled times. Despite the uncertainty of the new operating environment, the faculty and staff along with other stakeholders ensured that the academic vibrancy of the Campus returned, and the implementation of the Triple A Plan, The Revenue Revolution , took centre stage. It is these imperatives that occupied the focus of the management over the year. The UWI, Mona Campus in Academic Year 2022/2023 resumed face-to-face engagement, while continuing to deliver some courses/programmes and administrative functions online.
