In addition to the University’s online orientation sessions, the UWI Open Campus Anguilla Staff and Members of the local chapter of the Student Guild have been conducting welcome and information sessions for the new students. Some thirty persons attended the Site Orientation Session last week and more are expected to participate in the Guild activities, including a Church Service at the Dominion Faith Centre on Sunday, 28th August, a “Meet and Greet” Session on 31st August and a “Oneness” networking evening with members of other local Student bodies on 10th September.
