Celebrating our scholars
Over 30 budding scholars will be breakfasting with UWI academia at the University Inn and Conference Centre on November 30 as part of UWI’s efforts to acknowledge and celebrate new and returning scholarship students enrolled in graduate programmes.
Scholarship awardees, supervisors and current scholarship sponsors will meet and greet each other, as UWI helps build useful interdisciplinary social networks for collaboration and dissemination of knowledge.
All disciplines, faculties and many graduate programmes are represented as the scholarships are awarded across the university and include regional students.
The breakfast will host UWI scholarship awardees as well as those receiving scholarships from partner institutions and granting bursaries to our students. Among the external partners are Central Bank, Trinidad and Tobago Network Information Centre and the Sagicor Group of Companies. Apart from acknowledging current scholarship partnerships, we are inviting a speaker from industry who we hope will bring industry perspectives on the matter of translating research into innovative solutions.
The event has the support of the Pro Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research who is charged with driving innovation and entrepreneurial goals of our research enterprise. It also shows appreciation to research supervisors for their hard work in helping students to develop and advance various research projects. The University expects the research of these students to be cutting edge and also bring value to the society.
