From the Editor: A journey of discovery

This special issue of UWI TODAY joins the 70th anniversary celebrations of The UWI with a collectible edition that reproduces some of our favourite features over its ten years of publication.

We’ve scoured our archives to make these selections, and it was charmingly difficult to choose from the hundreds of stories that truly tell the story of our University’s diverse range of research and teaching over this past decade. Our pages have been a chronicle of the life of the campus: the work of staff, students, visitors; the events that stimulate mental growth like conferences, seminars, lectures and workshops. It’s all there in the 111 issues that have been produced so far.

We thought it fitting to remind readers of the outstanding work, the support for the arts, sports and community involvement with these reprints. We had a hard time narrowing it down, but you don’t have to settle for this selection; you can find them all online at the website where the full archive is available. All you have to do is pay a visit to https://sta.uwi.edu/uwitoday/archive.asp and browse to your heart’s content.

On a personal note, producing this edition was especially gratifying, as it is the last one I will be editing. It has been nearly ten years of continuous fascination for me. I still marvel at how a small place with limited resources can consistently create such wonders, and I fully understand that it is only possible because there are so many exceptional people within our precincts. It has been my privilege to walk among them. As I leave The UWI, I want to thank those who have made it such a memorable journey and to assure readers that UWI TODAY will continue to keep you informed about the life of our Campus.
