UWI St Augustine has a new Public Orator on the (virtual) graduation stage. Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw, Professor of French Literature and Creative Writing in the Faculty of Humanities and Education, was appointed on August 1, 2021. She succeeds Christine Carrington, Professor of Molecular Genetics and Virology. Each campus has its own Public Orator who acts as its voice during public occasions. At The UWI, the Public Orator writes the citations for the Honorary Graduands and presents them to the University Chancellor.
