OVERVIEW The year under review was a most dynamic, even hectic year, with the added busyness occasioned by the sixtieth anniversary celebrations of the University. The celebratory events that were mounted in honour of the UWI’s 60th anniversary were all of a very high standard and won for us very positive commendations. We continued to confront a serious challenge in undersubscribed School of Continuing Studies continuing education courses and programmes, but our flagship programmes remain those offered on behalf of the Distance Education (DE) Centre. Other non-academic programmes offered solely or in collaboration with other agencies and organizations also boost our sense of accomplishment and progress. On the whole, we are pleased with our steady if measured success in this connection. Student management took high priority, as we mobilized to give effect to the UWI Open Campus concept. In spite of some inevitable teething problems with online registrations, and the necessary adjustment to that environment in respect of tutorial support, we managed to cultivate and maintain a close relationship with our student body, thereby winning their confidence and respect. Here in St Kitts & Nevis, the year 2007-2008 was marked by a number of significant events. Among the highlights was the Proclamation of UWI Day on January 07, 2008. Other important events included the inaugural meeting of the UWI Open Campus Council on March 03, 2008 and the meeting of the Open Campus Management Committee on March 04, 2008. We wish to record our deep gratitude to Professor Lawrence Carrington, retiring Pro-Vice- Chancellor for Non-Campus Countries and Distance Education and Director of the School of Continuing Studies (SCS), for his leadership during the many years that he steered these two important agencies within the University. At the same time, we extend heartfelt congratulations to Mrs. Luz Longsworth, who assumed the mantle passed on by Professor Carrington, as Acting Director of the SCS. It is with much sadness that we note that passing of the inimitable Professor Phyllis MacPherson- Russell, a highly vaunted colleague and one that I dare to call true a friend. Dr Russell has been generous with her wise counsel and frank opinions; she was spontaneous and shared willingly whenever it was necessary for her to do so. We will long remember her. All in all, we report on the major happenings of the year in a spirit of thankfulness, joy and happiness for all that has been achieved. 4 5. SCHOOL OF CONTINUING STUDIES (SCS) The SCS is the major outreach arm of the University of the West Indies (UWI) and as such, relentlessly pursues continuing education and outreach programmes in the various local UWI constituencies. Following are the primary SCS programmes and courses we marketed in the hope of delivering all during the year under review: - Gentle Mathematics - English Language for Tertiary Level Study - ASc and Certificate in Business Management - ASc and Certificate in Administrative and Professional Office Management - ASc and Certificate in Public Sector Management - ASc in Paralegal Studies (PALS) - MATH0900/CE001 Mathematics Notwithstanding the application of our usual aggressive marketing strategy, due to low or no response, we were unable to mount any Certificate programmes. Therefore, only the continuing ASc in Paralegal Studies and a large class for MATH0900 (See Appendix 4) were offered from the listing given above. Undaunted, we committed ourselves to a thorough review of market needs and demands, and are now moving ahead with plans to offer, in the coming academic year, a completely fresh set of programmes, including the much sought after Certificate in Social Work, other short-term programmes including Supervisory Management; Marketing and Sales and a Certificate in Information Management. We continued with the Certificate in Business Administration (CBA) and the Certificate in Public Administration (CPA), to allow three (3) students the opportunity to complete their programmes. (See Appendices 1a & 1b for details.) Personal Savings and Investment Course: The Centre continued this year to collaborate with the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College to mount this very popular course. A total of seventy-one (71) persons successfully completed the course this academic year - twenty-three (23) graduates in the seventh cohort and forty-five (45) in the eighth cohort. Plans are currently afoot to ramp up our direct involvement in the delivery of the course, and we expect that during the coming academic year, we will be playing a larger role in the over-all delivery of the course. (See Appendix 1c for details.) 6. OTHER TEACHING PROGRAMMES UWI Distance Education Programmes The main thrust of programming at this Centre continues to be full or partial degree programmes; as such we remained very busy throughout the year with programmes in the following disciplines: - BSc Management Studies 5 - BSc Economics (Level 1) - BSc Accounting (Levels 1 & 2) - BEd Educational Administration - Diploma in Gender & Development Studies BSc Management Studies Programme Delivery: As the drive continues in the Distance Education Centre to enhance overall programme delivery, several of the courses required in the Management Studies programme were converted to “blended” format. The upshot of this conversion is that the number of face-to-face tutorials was significantly reduced. This, however, resulted in a steady and vociferous lament from both tutors and students alike, notwithstanding the online support that replaces the local tutorial support. Consequently, mindful of local culture and the profile of our students, we have opted in those cases where face-to-face tutorials are being offered to increase the frequency of sessions but to lessen the duration of each contact period. This arrangement finds favour with both tutors and students and, for the most part, also works well for the operations of the Centre. Surely, for our part it is in the best interest of the University and this Centre to ensure that we obtain maximum returns on any assistance given, for the general good of all stakeholders. Registration: In general, there were significant overall improvements in online registration this year. Students who failed to satisfy the University’s lower level matriculation requirements were offered the option to register in a ‘bridging programme’ that is available to under-qualified students wishing to pursue the BSc Management Studies. A number of local students joined the programme as ‘bridging’ students and we are pleased that most of them will be fully registered in the BSc Management Studies Programme in the coming year. Accounting Levels I and II: During the year under review, Level II courses in BSc Accounting were introduced. We must point out here that there was a course in this programme for which tele-tutorials were scheduled on Saturday and, at times, on Sunday. While these arrangements did not pose any major problems, we trust that in future, we would receive early notification concerning requirements for all such arrangements. Bachelor of Education in Educational Administration: We continue to be extremely pleased by the performance of students in the BEd programme. Students complete very substantial and worthwhile practicum projects that can positively impact both school and community. In addition, several of the study projects hinge around ground- breaking research, thereby adding to the body of knowledge about local areas of need. Students actively engage in fund raising to help execute their projects and in so doing, forge partnerships with various sectors of the society both within and outside of the immediate school environment. Most of the courses in this programme are now offered in blended format, i.e., a combination of tele-tutorials and face-to-face tutorials. This method is very comfortable for those students who continue with these arrangements. 6 Diploma in Gender and Development Studies: This programme continues to be grossly under-subscribed in St Kitts & Nevis. To compound our dismay in this regard, the lone student accepted in the programme for 2007-2008 withdrew during the second semester. Notwithstanding the limited success to date, we will continue to market the programme, because we are confident about its inherent value to our society. Kindly refer to Appendix 2a for statistical details regarding these programmes. Summer Programme: Twenty-one (21) courses in the Management Studies programme and two (2) Education courses were mounted during the Summer Semester. This year, a significant number of students took the opportunity to pursue summer courses, often in an attempt to either ‘fast track’ or terminate their programmes. It is worthy of note that the number of campus-based, full time students registering for Summer School in St. Kitts & Nevis continues to rise. In an attempt to ameliorate the administrative problems of various types, we ensured this year that as far as possible many of the essential administrative procedures were strictly adhered to, so as to mitigate actual and potential problems. Among the measures implemented was the drive to obtain approval letters and the ‘Quick Admit’ form; these measures went a long way towards improved efficiencies. (Appendix 3 provides further details concerning the summer session). Teaching/Academic Supervision: The RT monitored both the Study and Practicum for one BEd student who was inadvertently left without a supervisor, due to the illness of the substantive post holder. The inevitable stream of academic counseling continued throughout the entire year. PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT Orientation Exercises: There were two orientation sessions for local tutors prior to the start of the academic year -- one in St. Kitts and the other in Nevis. Orientation included, in addition to the essential briefings concerning their roles and responsibilities, a power point presentation which provided comprehensive information concerning the Open Campus concept. After a highly interactive discussion session, tutors were strongly encouraged to grasp the existing opportunities for positions as e-tutors in their respective disciplines. We were very pleased that three (3) tutors were employed as e-tutors during the year. As noted above, many of our tutors still prefer face-to-face tutorials, for the advantages that they perceive will be derived by the current cohort of students. Student Supports: As a consequence of late receipt by students of acceptance letters, the academic year got off to a relatively bumpy start, and it took more time than was desirable to sift through some of the troublesome issues. However, as we progressed through the semester, we were able to surmount all major hitches. Staff was grateful when eventually the override facility 7 was made available, since this went a long way towards ensuring that registration was thoroughly and efficiently completed. PUBLIC EDUCATION Lecture Series: Again this year, the Centre mounted a very energetic and highly informative Public Education Programme during the first semester. This year, we focused attention on the Environment. • Dr. Samuel Rawlins, retired UWI senior lecturer and former Director of the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre in Trinidad, launched the programme with a comprehensive, highly educational presentation entitled: The Impact of Climate Change and Variability on Public Health Issues. Dr Rawlins’ presentation sparked considerable interest. Dr. Sam Rawlins The presentation highlighted the relationship between environmental issues and public health and safety. He informed his audiences concerning the incidence of dengue fever, and outlined a number of practical strategies to combat the huge health challenge in the country and the region. • In an attempt to pay due recognition to Mrs. Anne Liburd, a female warrior in the local and regional Labour Movement who had passed away late September, we acceded to a request from Ms. Marva Phillip, Head of the Hugh Lawson Shearer Trade Union Education Institute, SCS, pre-empted our environmental education programme, and acceded Ms Phillip’ request to launch a lecture series entitled: Forever Indebted to Women. The lecture, which was mounted early in November, was very ably delievered by Dr. Judtih Soares, Head, SCS Women and Development Unit. Dr. Soares focused on the work of women in the regional labour movement, zeroing in the contribution of Mrs Liburd to local and regional efforts. This event was well received. • Our third public education initiative and the second lecture planned for our environmental education series, was given on December 10th by Dr. Joan Rawlins. This lecture addressed the issue of how our built environment caters to the special needs of elderly in a steadily aging national and global society. This presentation was dynamic and well appreciated by all in attendance. 8 • The fourth and final initiative on the environment was mounted in June, in collaboration with the University of Central Florida (UCF). Professor Martin Dupuis led a group of eight (8) honours students to St Kitts & Nevis, to exchange information on the natural and marine environment. The initiative comprised training sessions at the Centre, led by local experts in various areas of environmental management, as well as a number of field trips in both St Kitts and Nevis. Students prepared educational materials for dissemination in local schools and other establishments as well as materials to be distributed on their return to UCF. The programme was billed a tremendous success by all concerned. SPECIAL ACTIVITIES UWI Open Campus Council Launch: The Centre was delighted to be the venue for the launch of the inaugural meeting of the UWI Open Campus Council, which took place at the University Centre on March 3rd 2008. Under the Chairmanship of the first Chair of UWI Open, Sir K. Dwight Venner, a group of thirty-four (34) Council Members gather from across the region to chart the way for the fledgling Campus. By way of general information and for ease of reference, a copy of the List of the inaugural members is attached as Appendix 6. Recognition of Graduates: The Centre was pleased to mount yet another Ceremony for the Recognition of Graduates. This year, the event was staged on January 19th at the Old Manor Hotel in Gingerland, Nevis, and was presided over by Professor Wayne Hunte, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research. Twenty-one (21) graduates from the class of 2006-2007 were presented to Professor Hunte; of these, four (4) students had been awarded First Class Honours degrees. Justice Hugh Rawlins, then the Acting Chief Justice of the OECS Supreme Court, and himself a native of Gingerland, Nevis, addressed the graduates. The number of dignitaries in attendance at this large ceremony included His Excellency the Governor General of the Federation, Sir Cuthbert Sebastian; His Honour Mr. Eustace John, Deputy Governor (Nevis), Honourable Mr. Sam Condor, Deputy Prime Minister of the Federation and Federal Minister of Education; Honourable Mr. Hensley Daniel, Deputy Premier, Nevis Island Government; Mr. Tapley Seaton, Q.C., Chair of the local SCS Territorial Advisory Committee, and several other members of the Committee; Dr. Caroline Lawrence, President of the local Chapter of the UWI Alumni Association, and many other officers and members of the UWIAA; several local tutors from both islands; several other officials from among the judiciary, the clergy and both the public and private sectors, and an impressive turn out of relatives and friends of graduates. All in all, the Ceremony was a very splendid affair. We would wish, through this medium, to tender our sincerest appreciation to all those many organizations and private individuals who contributed to the success of the event. Special thanks are due to the Nevis Island Government for their generous sponsorship of a sumptuous cocktail reception for the company at the end of the Ceremony. 9 Knowledge Fair: In August 2007, UWI St. Kitts & Nevis participated in a Knowledge Fair organized by the Department of Culture. The UWI display, featuring literature and images related to the journey of blacks from enslavement to freedom, was guided by the following themes: • Down Freedom Road • How slavery fashioned Caribbean religion • How slavery fashioned Caribbean people (empowerment) • Reparations • Female slave leaders The fair, held in Independence Square, was well attended and the images of slavery on display generated much interest among young and old alike. SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS We concentrated heavily on a number of events to mark the sixtieth anniversary of our beloved UWI. Celebrations effectively commenced on January 07, 2008 with the proclamation of that auspicious date as UWI Day. Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, and Patron of the local chapter of the UWIAA, Dr. the Honourable Denzil, Douglas, read the proclamation at a ceremony on the grounds of the University Centre. The ceremony was attended by a number of senior government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, graduates, most of whom rose to tender congratulations to the institution on the attainment of this significant milestone. The ceremony concluded with a toast to UWI, proposed by Prime Minister Douglas. Head Table L to R, Hon. Sam Condor, Deputy Prime Minister and Dr. Hon Denzil Douglas, Prime Minister – UWI Day Plans for the implementation of our local programme of celebratory activities then moved into high gear. Regrettably, many of the scheduled activities had to be shelved, due in part to 10 financial and manpower resource constraints. However, we are extremely pleased to report that a number of highly successful initiatives were executed, including the following: March 18th – Graduates’ Forum: The four leading political figures in the Federation, all of them UWI graduates, were invited to prepare and present their views on an evocative topic, viz: ‘Premonitions of the Future: ‘Sensing’ Change and the Evolution and Growth of our Country’. They were invited to speak as graduates of the University, and to pay especial attention to what they perceived UWI’s role to be in the context of their views. The Panel comprised the Leader of Government, Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas, the Leader of the Opposition in the Federal Parliament, Mr. Mark Brantley; The Leader of Government in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA), Mr. Joseph Parry, and the Leader of the opposition in the NIA, Mr. Vance Armory. The high-profile panel was selected because of the positions of power that they occupy in the affairs of the Federation and hence their ability to impact directions for meaningful growth and development. Under the very able guidance of Professor Clement Sankat, then Principal (Designate) of the St Augustine Campus, the four panelists gave very thoughtful presentations with prescriptions of the UWI’s role in the upward movement in the Country and the region. L to R Hon. Mark Brantley, Dr. Hon. Denzil Douglas, Mrs. P. Olivia Edgecombe-Howell, Prof. Clement Sankat, Mr. Tapley Seaton, Q.C., Hon. Vance Amory, Hon. Joseph Parry – Graduates Forum April 20th – Interfaith Service: This landmark event brought together leaders of most of the different faiths currently represented in the Federation, including the Baha’i, Christian, Hindu, Moslem and Rastafari. After months of careful planning, we were highly gratified by the overall 11 success and positive response to the event – a rare if not unique occurrence in our predominantly Christian community. May 15th - The Distinguished Lecture: Given by Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and Chair of the newly established Open Campus Council, Sir K. Dwight Venner, was also a most resounding success. Sir Dwight presented a highly thought provoking lecture entitled “The University of the West Indies (1948), West Indian Federation (1958): What could have been 50 years later…” Under the chairmanship of His Lordship the Resident High Court Judge and UWI graduate, Mr. Justice Francis Belle, Sir Dwight took his large audience through a retrospective journey of what could have been, 50 years later. The presentation was nothing short of awesome and in our view, deserves to be aired throughout the length and breadth of the Caribbean Region. L to R. Sir K. Dwight Venner, Hon. Justice Francis Belle, Mrs. P. Olivia Edgecombe-Howell, Archdeacon Valentine Hodge – Distinguished Lecture Other scheduled events had to be deferred, and by the end of the year, it was clear that we would be unable to mount other programmes on the grand scale of those already hosted. We expect to release the commemorative stamp in October, on or about the 23rd of that month, to mark the formal beginning of teaching at Mona, Jamaica. PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant: The Centre received a complete face lift prior to staging the Open Campus Council meeting. Partial redecoration was undertaken, and a complete refurbishment of the Conference Room was completed to host the meeting. Additionally, ongoing maintenance of fencing, windows, flooring and roofing were necessary. Maintenance costs continue to increase, as prices for merchandise and service climb. Termite treatments are becoming an annual affair. 12 There has been no change in the status of our emergency generating capacity, and this year, the country was plagued by a series of interruptions in the public provision of electricity supply. Meanwhile, cost of consumption has markedly increased in the Federation. Throughout the year, we experienced a number of issues regarding consistency in electricity supply. Given our heavy reliance on electricity and our need for consistency in the provision of service, we were constantly challenged with breakdowns and heavy maintenance of our equipment. For instance, sudden power outages have caused damage to computer equipment, surge protectors, UPS supplies and air conditioning units. These problems have been further compound by the inadequacy of our own generating capacity, since the generator which we currently use is, for all practical purposes, obsolete and grossly inadequate in size and output. Space problems persist, and we continue to seek creative ways of maximizing the use of the facilities to accommodate the programmes that we run. We continue to hope for additional space in which to accommodate our staff and expand our initiatives. Once again this year, the library benefitted from a generous donation of books from the following sources: • Alan Moss Ltd., Barbados, mostly for our St Kitts & Nevis Collection of indigenous works and works by natives of the Federation. We continue to remain in the debt of Alan Moss Ltd for their ongoing care, concern and generous support. Especially, we are indebted to Mr. Moss for bearing the costs of all shipping and handling, and for personally presenting them to the Centre during a short mission in the Federation. We shall long remain in his debt. • Finalizing BEd student, Mrs. Carlene Corlette, also donated a total of 25 titles to the library. Many of these titles are being added to the collection for general use by students. • Professor Martin Dupuis, Dean of Honours Programme at UCF, also contributed books to our stocks. We continue to witness a steady increase in the use of the library by students, and we continue to woo them to the library in every possible way. Regular cataloguing, weeding and other maintenance functions are carried out by the library clerk on an ongoing basis. The Centre acquired a new lap top computer, primarily to improve the delivery of white board presentations in the teleconferencing rooms. The Centre was also outfitted with a number of wireless access points which helped to boost signal strength and improve our service to clients. We must point out, however, that access to this secured network required assistance from staff. 13 PUBLIC SERVICE The Resident Tutor continued to be active on the following:  Social Security Scholarship Committee  Development Bank Student Loans Committee  Board for Education  National Drug Council She is also member on the:  St. Christopher Heritage Society  Nevis Historical and Conservation Society USE OF FACILITIES The University Centre retained its customary function as a central locus of activity within the community for government, private sector and other community based groups, for a wide variety of functions and events. At times, our conference rooms are rented for a nominal fee. The fees collected help to defray maintenance and other related costs. Set out below is an indicative listing of users: o The Community Bible Church (Sundays) o No-Name Church (Bi-annually) o The Government of St Kitts & Nevis (various departments and units) o The Lions Club (weekly) o St. Kitts Medical Association o St. Christopher & Nevis Social Security Board o Peace Corps Eastern Caribbean o Association of Graduates of Universities in Cuba o UWI Alumni Association 14 VISITORS TO THE UNIVERSITY CENTRE While we cannot list the names of all persons who visited the Centre during this year, the listing below provides an indication of some of the important persons who graced us with their presence: Name Position Organization Purpose Date Dr. Marlene Griffith UWI 18th August Dr. Hamid Ghany Dean, FSS, UWI St. Augustine Monitoring Visit to Mr. Martin Franklin Deputy Dean, UWI CFBC Outreach, FSS, Dr. Joan Rawlins Faculty of UWI 20th September Medical Sci.
