A group of twenty-six students from The University of the West Indies (The UWI) recently completed the China component of a 2+2 Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering with a concentration in mobile application technologies. The group which spent the past two years studying at the Global Institute of Software Technology (GIST) in Suzhou, China is the inaugural class of The UWI- China Institute of Information Technology (UWI-CIIT).

Among the decisions taken at the sitting of the annual meeting of University Council last month was the assignment of additional duties to Pro Vice-Chancellors and Campus Principals. This, in keeping with the University’s current COVID-19 cost-cutting and cost-containment strategies.

Consistent with the Council’s approval to restructure its senior leadership portfolios, Dr Luz Longsworth, with effect from July 1, 2020, will assume responsibility for the oversight of the University’s global affairs in addition to her role as Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the Open Campus.
