Professor Emeritus Ramesh Deosaran was awarded the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago for distinguished and outstanding service to the nation and his academic work at the Independence Day ceremony. Prof Deosaran, an Independent Senator, served as Director of the Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice (CCCJ) and the Ansa McAl Psychological Research Centre at The UWI, St. Augustine Campus.

“Prof Deosaran was instrumental in developing several successful programmes in psychology and criminology at St Augustine. What set him apart from many was his willingness to make his views known publicly on matters of crime and its prevention, for example, but this was always rooted in his research. He has given distinguished service to the region and The UWI congratulates him on this national award. Well deserved,” said St Augustine Campus Principal, Prof Clement Sankat.
