The Staff Orientation Programme aims to engage new staff and reinforce to current staff and the community, the University’s mandate and services, and to inform and reinforce general knowledge at all levels (University, Campus and country). The event was designed for and is open to persons who are new to the Campus or who have never benefitted from this type of orientation. The opening ceremony comprised of a welcome and introduction to The UWI by the Acting Deputy Campus Principal, followed by a presentation by the HR Director. This presentation provided a brief introduction to the staff and student administration offices. An interactive presentation by the Arts in Action group ended the short formalities and the day’s events continued outside on the grounds of the Daaga Auditorium with an orientation fair. Another key part of staff orientation took place at the Centre for Excellence in Teaching & Learning (CETL). This took the form of an interactive workshop designed to orient teaching staff to the foundations of teaching and learning at the university level as they relate to the competencies of the distinctive UWI graduate. Participants were introduced to the University’s blended learning programme and learning management system, and will explore how scholarship of teaching and learning can become part of their research agenda.
