The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus (UWI STA) Libraries is seeking submissions from the staff and students to help document the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on The UWI STA community. If you are a UWI STA student, faculty, staff member or alumna/alumnus who worked or studied on the Campus during that historic period from 2020-2022, we want to hear about your experiences.
