“What does it really mean to be a student of The UWI?”
That’s the question at the heart of the
#BeUWI – BeYou
.
BeWe.
BeUWI.
campaign launched in November 2016 to kick off
The UWI St Augustine’s 2017-2018 student recruitment cycle.
BeYou
speaks to students finding their niche while
remaining part of The UWI family. The campaign highlights
the personal stories of students.
Christopher Lou-Hing
, one
of the campaign ambassasdors captured above is a first-year
Film Studies major.
“UWI is a really great place, with a vibrant community.
There are many interesting people and when interesting
people gather, interesting things happen, like at the Film
programme!”
BeWe
captures the diversity of students who come
to The UWI; millennials fresh out of secondary school to
mature, career-oriented people with years of real-world
experience. “We” are students from different countries and
socio-economic backgrounds.
#BeUWI
reflects the ongoing institutional philosophy
that it does not matter where you come from, it’s where you
want to go. To
BeUWI
is to Be ready for the possibilities
of life, to Be people who are not only capable of academic
excellence, but also critical thought and innovation and
most importantly to Be individuals who effect change all
over the world.
