EditorialCommunication is key to our development as a University and a regional institution; this is why we are pleased to announce the re-launch of the UWI Today newspaper supplement. Produced by the Marketing and Communications Office, St Augustine Campus, you can look forward to enjoy reading it every month in the Sunday Guardian newspaper. Our UWI Today Online version will also feature a community notice board for you to chat with us and share your ideas.This newspaper, which was developed two years ago by former Campus Principal and current Pro Vice Chancellor, Research and Development, Dr. Bhoendradatt Tewarie and edited by Mrs. Indrani Bachan-Persad, is a landmark initiative. We are committed to the publication’s continued expansion in scope and size so that we continue to share with you the good work being done at our institution. In every issue you will find stories on the relevant, innovative research being done at the St. Augustine Campus which is making a difference in the lives of West Indians at home and abroad. In our April issue the work on nutrition by Prof Ramdath is being highlighted, as well as the integral monitoring by the Seismic Research Unit of earthquakes and volcanic activity. As a student-centred institution we will also share the news and events that reflect the high caliber of our students, including the Gala Dinner held during Caribbean Integration Week and the superb performance of UWI musicians including our pannists, at the recent Rainmakers concert. We are also proud of our iconic alumni and in this issue we celebrate the multi-talented engineer and archer Jonathan Kacal. We are also pleased to share the new programmes being offered and the impact of our emphasis on ‘teaching and learning’. In this issue the Interpreting Techniques programme offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Education is in the spotlight. This is a year of great celebration for our institution as we turn 60 and we look forward to you celebrating with us by sharing your opinions and ideas.
