Vice-Chancellor of The UWI, Professor E. Nigel Harris was honoured in Scotland at the 600th anniversary of Academia of the University of St. Andrews on September 13.

He joined 18 honorees lauded by St. Andrews University as “some of the best minds of our generation, leading academics from around the globe,” as the university acknowledged “the outstanding achievements of women and men whose thoughtful scholarship and outstanding integrity has changed both our world, and the way we understand our place in it.”

Vice-Chancellor Harris was hailed as “not only an outstanding university leader but a man whose very distinguished record in medical research is widely recognized, particularly in the field of technology.” The university noted the Vice-Chancellor’s work in 1983 in the field of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, as a Welcome Fellow in the Rheumatology Unit at the Royal Post Graduate Medical School at Hammersmith Hospital in London.
