About Campus Council

The Campus Councils meet annually, largely to receive detailed reports from officers and committees, which have responsibilities derived from the University Charter and other instruments. Such reports include academic and curriculum updates, changing statistics on students, staffing issues and strategic initiatives that have been undertaken. The theme for the 2016/2017 Annual Report, which will be presented at the Council Meeting, is Matta Season and will highlight critical shifts in focus as the Campus navigates a prolonged testing season at an institutional level.

A fundamental aspect of this year’s Council will see Campus Principal Professor Brian Copeland’s address the members of the council. Professor Copeland will share his vision for creating a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship as the Campus responds to the changing mandate for education, declining economies and a need for strategic but practical approaches to revitalizing the Caribbean. Highlights will cover major advancements from each Faculty in offering these practical solutions to the region during the review period.
