Dean’s Overview
THE FSS AT A GLANCE IN AY 2022–2023
Leadership The Faculty welcomed its first female Dean, Dr Heather Ricketts on August 1, 2022. The Faculty thanks former Dean, Professor David Tennant, who demitted office on July 31, 2022, for his outstanding leadership and stewardship over the 2018–2022 period. Resumption of Face-to-Face Activities The Faculty resumed full face-to-face teaching and learning after two and a half years of emergency remote teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Resump- tion was initially rocky largely on account of infrastructure deterioration over the ‘lockdown’ period. Strategic Planning The Faculty’s Strategic Plan for the period 2022–2027 was finalized in alignment with the UWI Triple A Strategy and the FSS REACH Vision – R ealizing Impact Through Research; E xceeding the Expectations of Our Stakeholders; A ctively Work- ing Towards Financial Sustainability; C ommitted to being Caring, Accountable, Motivated and Professional Individuals; H arnessing our Resources Through Con- tinuous Improvement. The operationalization of the FSS Strategic Plan for the AY 2022–2023 resulted in several key strategic achievements, some of which are highlighted in this report. Enrolment As the table below shows, except for the Mona School of Business & Management, enrolment had declined relative to the previous year 2021/22. Overall, this reduc- tion was 8.8%.
