AGILITY

AG1 – ESTABLISH A PHYSICAL PRESENCE OF THE UWI ON ALL CONTINENTS

The Faculty continued to reach out to its Alumni making greater efforts to promote an actively engaged and diverse alumni body working closely with the Faculty. At the initiative of Professor Emeritus Sir George Alleyne, former Chancellor of The UWI, a more formal arrangement was being created with the Medical Alumni to contribute to the FMS. Through an Alumni Dr Rickhi Badri an initial list with members of the alumni (and 1 non-alumni) was submitted with interested persons and with whom the Faculty was asked to establish collaborations. The intention was to engage the alumni in other activities and not only for funding support. With our 75 th year of celebrations approaching, this was hoped to be one of our main focus.
