The UWI Global Campus Anguilla Guild of Students concluded its academic year on a high note with a vibrant and engaging end-of-year social event held at Vanburn’s Residence in Sandy Hill. The event, which took place on July 21st, provided a much-needed opportunity for students to unwind and socialise after a demanding and eventful school year.
This year’s end-of-year social was marked by a unique twist as the Guild of Students extended invitations to three distinguished Alumni who had experienced the diverse landed campuses of the University of the West Indies – Cave Hill, Mona, and St. Augustine. The esteemed presenters, Ms. Donna Banks, Mrs. Josephine Gumbs-Connor, and Mr. Lowell Hughes, each shared insightful anecdotes and invaluable experiences from their time at these campuses.
The session was nothing short of enlightening as the alumni offered first-hand accounts of their educational journeys, shedding light on the enriching academic environments and vibrant campus cultures of the various UWI campuses. Students had the invaluable opportunity to engage directly with the presenters, gaining invaluable insights into the unique aspects and benefits of each campus.
Dr. Phyllis Fleming-Banks – the outgoing Manager of The UWI Global Campus British Overseas Territories, graced the event with her presence, further emphasizing the significance of the occasion. The UWI Global Campus – Anguilla site Administration Staff also attended, reaffirming their commitment to supporting and fostering a nurturing educational environment for the students.
