“The holistic development of students so that they can be strong leaders
for the region,”
says
Justin Subero, President of The UWI St Augustine
Student Guild Council
, when asked about the council’s mission for its
2019-2020 term. Justin and his team won the elections held in March of
this year. The 25-member council - made of an executive, faculty reps, hall
chairs, and special committee chairs - are themselves students committed
to personal development and campus life through student government.
The Guild is one of many avenues that give students opportunities for
growth outside of academics. Members of the campus community have
access to sports, clubs, student-focused programmes, and health and
wellness services. The aim, as the new Guild Council President says, is to
produce holistic graduates who have strong character as well as academic
credentials. Graduates who have not only the qualifications to lead, but
also the temperament and integrity to be good leaders.
