Memories of UWI, 1966-1969

Rose Gibbs

As a 1969 graduate of UWI, I and many of my peers are the same age as the university and so I welcome this opportunity to reflect. The young adults that we were in 1969 are now turning 75!! That can’t be. The decade of the sixties was a very special time in Jamaica’s history. We were a very lucky group. Many of the students at that time had their education paid for. Cost did not weigh heavily on our minds. It seems worlds apart from the experience of many of the students that I read about now.

The UWI Mona is excited to announce a ground-breaking global study to assess work addiction and its impact on health. This comprehensive research initiative brings together experts from various fields to shed light on the complex issue of work addiction and its consequences for individual well-being on a global scale.The project is carried out by an international team led by Dr. Edyta Charzyńska from the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, and Dr. Paweł Atroszko from the University of Gdańsk, Poland.
