The Guild of Students
has just been through two fairly competitive events – the more recent being the election of its executive with the incumbent President,
Makesi Peters
, keeping his position
and
Michael Rajnauth
being voted in as Vice President.
(The new executive is on Page 22.)
The other big event on the Guild calendar was the selection of the
2016 Miss UWIverse
– which took
place in February at the Daaga Auditorium at the St. Augustine Campus. The winner,
Khedeill James
, representing the Department of Behavioural Scienes from the Faculty of Social Sciences,
captivated the judges when she was asked to describe how she has contributed to The UWI’s rise in the context of its motto,
“Oriens Ex Occidente Lux”
which means
“Light Rising From the West”.
The 12 contestants were exposed to a wide range of pre-pageant activities as they were taken through paces that included meeting with the Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister,
Ayanna Webster-Roy
as part of a mentoring element; a fitness challenge; a visit to the
2016 HIV/AIDS Awareness Fair
hosted by the Faculty of Humanities and Education, a
“styling 101 session,”
and a particularly inspiring meeting when the Minister of Tourism,
Shamfa Cudjoe
visited the Campus and shared some of her personal experiences with them. Photographer

Miss UWIverse Gwaldys Feler
presents her successor to the audience.
