UWI Faculty of Social Sciences Unveils Inspiration Wall at Student Orientation

A picture paints a thousand words: Dr. Acolla Lewis-Cameron, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, welcomes attendees at the Inspiration Wall Unveiling. 

ST. AUGUSTINE - August 30, 2024:  In a touching display of unity and support, students at The University of the West Indies (The UWI) Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) have come together to create the Inspiration Wall, unveiled on Wednesday 21st August 2024 at the Student Orientation. This project, born from the heartfelt desire of students to uplift and encourage their peers, stands proudly near the faculty’s rock garden as a symbol of the enduring spirit of community.

This initiative, developed in collaboration with the Guild of Students, invited both current and past students to share their personal messages and uplifting quotes. As a fitting symbol of passing the torch, these heartfelt words are designed to inspire and guide the new cohort of students as they embark on their journey into higher education. Each message, rooted in the experiences and challenges of those who came before, offers hope and reassurance, ensuring that no student feels alone but feels supported during their academic journey. This ‘inspired wall’ will also serve as the wind beneath the wings of many future success stories and form the perfect backdrop for creating memories as many students take photos that will motivate them well into the future.

Please find below and attached photos from the unveiling.
