About The UWI/Republic Bank Management Challenge and Partnership

 Building on its commitment to tertiary education development, Republic Bank Limited has embarked on this two-year partnership with the Department of Management Studies, commencing September 20, 2017. The competition aims to engage students while generating innovative solutions to organisational challenges through student research, analysis, and recommendations.

Dr. Acolla Cameron, Head of the Department of Management Studies at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, expressed the Department’s commitment to the partnership and to providing students with a strong background towards their sense of community and personal growth.

We look forward to partnering with Republic Bank to equip our students with the foundation to contribute to societal development and provide them with opportunities for holistic personal development."
