The celebratory gesture of 26-year-old Brazilian Daniel Chavez Da Silva, as he wins the UWI SPECI International Half-Marathon in a time of 1:08:18, perfectly illustrates how we feel at the end of a hectic year that was full of changes at all levels of The UWI. In this, our year-end special that focuses on the recent Graduation ceremonies, we pay tribute to students, staff and honorary graduates, as we feature their speeches and citations, and there is a special exit interview with the outgoing Vice-Chancellor, Professor E. Nigel Harris. (Graduation photos: Benedict Cupid and Guytn Ottley)
