First graduates
The UWI/FIFA/CIES programme offers courses in Strategic Management of Sports, Sports Marketing, Law and Sports, Communication in Sports, Sports Finance, Sports Facilities Management, Event Management and Human Resource Management (HRM) in Sports. Professor Clement Sankat, UWI St. Augustine Campus Principal, who delivered a speech at the ceremony, indicated that the programme is the first of its kind to be offered in the Caribbean. He challenged the new graduates, “our sport professionals,” to “go out and do something big! Consider yourselves pioneers in this new and evolving discipline. Put the knowledge and skills gained from this programme to work and leave your mark on society.” Following the distribution of diplomas and entertainment by Arts in Action, the Theatre-in-Education Outreach Unit of The UWI’s Department of Festival and Creative Arts (DCFA), valedictorians Shawn Garcia and Brent Phillips delivered valedictory addresses. In October 2012, the Department of Management Studies will host a one-day seminar on Sports Marketing in collaboration with the CIES and FIFA. For further information, please contact Ms. Charisse J. Broome at 662-2002 ext 83724, or via e-mail at Charisse.Broome@sta.uwi.edu. |
