DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES
Mission and Vision statements have been slightly modified to include “gender jus- tice/diversity” in accordance with the Quality Assurance Review and the revised Gender Policy at The UWI. This has been done in an effort to ensure that students’ inclusion and respect for diversity is a goal at the DMLL. The initiative is to comply with the 2022 Quality Assurance Review as well as the revised Gender Policy. The New Mission and Vision Statements will be displayed in the Main Office and Language Laboratory, as well as on the Department’s Website and in the Departmental Handbook from July 2023. MISSION STATEMENT To be a place of excellence for the learning and training of foreign languages and cultures in a student centred, creative, intellectually engaging, supportive, diverse, and inclusive environment where students will acquire critical thinking skills, communicative, literary, cultural and translation competencies to function as global citizens and drive a positive local and global transformation.
VISION STATEMENT To be a dynamic, multicultural and outstanding department in The UWI committed to gender, race, culture, and sexual orientation equality.
