A first for Tobago

In late August, faculty members at the St. Augustine Campus of The UWI visited Tobago to launch the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business (GSB), International Master in Business Administration (IMBA) programme – the first face-to-face Masters programme to be held in Tobago.

The launch of the programme “marks a significant milestone in our efforts as a university to continuously be of service to both Trinidad and Tobago,” said Professor Clement Sankat, UWI St Augustine Campus Principal and Chairman of the Board of GSB. This partnership between The UWI and Tobago is especially significant as it demonstrates the university’s commitment to address “the demands, needs and interests of traditionally underserved communities” in the region, Sankat said, stressing that the programme’s incoming students must contribute by using their skills to “develop your communities in a way that speaks to moral ideals, ethical principles, and honest business practices.”
