WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT The Department is pleased to present our last academic year’s report summarising our activities and accomplishments. In pursuit of our mission and the more com- prehensive University’s mission, we remained committed to the Department’s core objectives by continuing our research and publications, attending and presenting at conferences, seminars, and teaching. Our faculty and staff members continued to excel in their roles, internal to the University and serving on various public boards. We are happy to report that we successfully reverted to serving our students and stakeholders face-to-face during the review period. Student numbers were not as anticipated, but the enrollment remained strong. We continued to improve our teaching and learning approaches to equip the students to become the ideal UWI graduates. We continued our external engagements with various outreach initia- tives and partnerships. Staffing During the period under review, Dr Alvin Harris and Ms Emoy Young joined the teaching staff as Adjunct and Assistant Lecturers, respectively. Dr Harris holds a PhD in Applied Economics from Western Michigan University and an MSc in Economics from the University of the West Indies. Ms Young is also a University of the West Indies graduate with a Masters in Economics.
