UWI Annual Report 2019/2020

When the review year started in August 2019, the Campus looked forward to celebrating its 60th Anniversary. It focused on putting everything in place to open the St. Augustine Campus at Penal-Debe during the academic year. But just before midyear, they were alerted to the outbreak of a yet un-named virus in Wuhan, China, and had begun preparing for its possible impact. Few could have predicted the extent to which the COVID-19 virus would take lives and up-end economies. The Campus' priorities were the safety and well-being of the students and staff and to support the national and regional efforts to arrest the spread of the virus. The related decisions and actions are detailed in the body of this report.
