On January 21, 2014 His Excellency, Wonkun Hwang, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Trinidad and Tobago, handed over a collection of books on Korean history, culture, art, religion, people and literature to the Campus Principal, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor Clement Sankat and the University and Campus Librarian, Jennifer Joseph. The Ambassador shared his vision that The UWI would serve as the centre of Korean studies in the Caribbean. It made him feel like a farmer, sowing small seeds of Korean studies in Trinidad and Tobago, he said, as he expressed the hope that large trees of mutual understanding and interest would grow from these seeds. PVC Sankat said that The UWI was concerned about producing not only a distinctive, information-literate graduate but “global citizens,” and that access to the books by students facilitated the achievement of that objective.
