Vice-Chancellor Beckles highlighted that the Government of Bermuda was engaging the Open Campus to have Bermudians complete their education at The UWI, and mentioned that the Hon. Minister of Education was present. He also noted that the University had a presence in China, Africa, Asia, USA and Cuba and was looking to forming other alliances to showcase The UWI brand. The audience was given an opportunity to ask questions and make recommendations. There was a mix and mingle session afterwards where delicious refreshments were served. The feedback from alumni about the Chancellor’s Forum was very positive and having the opportunity to see and interact with him, as well as with the Vice Chancellor, was regarded as extremely progressive and constructive.
