In line with our last Strategic Plan, we continued to grow our on-campus enrolment, to expand opportunities for tertiary education advancement at the undergraduate level, and at the graduate level, to provide the manpower to overcome the regional shortage of critical skills in Barbados, the OECS and beyond, as well as to create new opportunities for continuing education for our professionals wishing further training or to make career changes. We strengthened our internal processes to ensure that our enrolment growth is matched with an investment in quality and infrastructural enhancement and we continued to engage our stakeholders to better understand and respond to their needs. At the same time, we continued to encourage our corporate partners and our alumni to contribute financially to our development, thereby helping us to reduce our relative dependence on government subventions. We consolidated our programmes to ensure efficiency and provide a facilitating student learning and recreational environment and to achieve in our graduates rounded and critical thinking citizens capable of meeting the real world challenges and opportunities for self-employment and general self-reliance. Over the period, we also continued our substantial investments in expanding our physical plant to accommodate the current and projected growth of our student enrolment and that of our academic and administrative staff.

The further facilitate the registration process. Campus further sought to enhance the efficiencies and functionality to be derived from Banner SAS by bringing on stream the Web-based Curriculum Planning and Advising (CAPP) component. Implementation of this module enabled students to ascertain their status within their respective programmes by running degree audits online. This has had the effect of improving the quality of academic advising and of empowering students by ensuring their ready access to information which allows them to make timely choices about their academic progress. The implementation of Banner has also prompted solutions in other areas in which the quality of service to students required attention and where manual processes frustrated the optimal utilisation of resources. The production of student transcripts Students consult has been fully automated for students in the Banner Scheduling with faculty and SAS database, as has been the generation of degree campus o cials certificates for students. The Campus sought to optimise the use of technology about their in the re-engineering of its administrative systems registration.

In May 2007, an ensemble of local, regional and international scholars and the wider society were treated to a mixture of intellectual discourse and cultural presentations on the theme, “Freedom” when the Faculty of Humanities and Education hosted a three-day conference around the theme, ‘Trajectories of Freedom: Caribbean Societies Past and Present’ coupled with the presentation ‘Three Nights of Freedom’ which featured dance, drumming and other cultural o erings. During the year a number of public lectures were also devoted to the celebration of the bicentenary. The Faculty of Humanities and Education led in this regard through its annual Humanities Festival which featured a colloquium focusing on the life and times of Leopold Senghor, Senegalese poet, philosopher, cultural theorist and politician. The Department of History and Philosophy also organised a lecture series, in conjunction with the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, entitled ‘An Outrage to Humanity: The Course and Abolition of the Atlantic Slave Trade’. The Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora (ASWAD) also dedicated its fourth conference to the anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. The conference was hosted by Cave Hill and co-sponsored by New York University, and explored the theme ‘Interrogations of Freedom: Memories, Meaning and Migration’. UWI in the International Spotlight Cave Hill’s hosting of a number of international matches in preparation for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 tournament enabled the University of the West Indies to write its name into the pages of history as the rst university in the world to stage such an event. The honour provided an unparalleled opportunity for Cave Hill Campus to be showcased to a worldwide audience. A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 7 Teaching and Learning Cave Hill Campus continued to pursue its goal of excellence in teaching and learning. As noted earlier in the Report, during the year, Faculties and Departments discussed and implemented several recommendations of the Fields’ Report on Programme Development and Design. Particular emphasis was placed on improving quality assurance mechanisms, and in ensuring that class rooms and other facilities were conducive to the best educational outcomes and in keeping with international best practice and standards.

ALEPH Goes Online The new library online system, ALEPH, went live during the review period, thus allowing for the Cave Hill catalogue to be available on the Internet for the first time since the automation of the collection. The implementation of the system has enhanced the operations of the circulation desk. Although some readers appeared reluctant to use the new online public access catalogue (OPAC), the majority found it easier to use than the old catalogue and appreciated the added benefit of being able to reserve material online. During the academic year 2006/07, off-campus access to the main library’s e-resources became available for the first time. This was achieved through the collaborative efforts of the Library Systems Unit and the Computer Centre. 24 The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus R E S E A R C H A N D D E V E L O P M E N T Research and Development THE FACULTY OF PURE AND CERMES LECTURER EARNS NOBEL The three APPLIED SCIENCES UWI scientists PRESTIGE whose research The sterling work on climate change by senior contributed to the work of the United Funding for Research on Groundwater lecturer, Dr. Leonard Nurse, as part of the United Nation’s Inter- Quality in Barbados Nation’s Inter-governmental Panel on Climate govermental Panel Change (IPPC) earned him international recognition on Climate Change when the IPCC was jointly awarded to him and which shared the The Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences received 2007 Nobel Peace former US Vice President, Al Gore, the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, significant funding from the Organization of Prize.
