Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Chairman’s Statement It is my distinct pleasure to present to Council the Annual Report of the Five Islands Campus (FIC) for the academic year 2021-2022. After three (3) years of operations, the Five Islands Campus forged ahead boldly amidst the onslaught of an unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic. I wish to place on record the Campus Council’s appreciation of the excellent stewardship of Professor Densil A. Williams during the year under review. Without a doubt, Professor Williams’ exemplary and visionary leadership enabled the Five Islands Campus to remain financially viable as we navigated the difficult COVID-19 environment. Through the combined efforts of a committed senior management team and the support of staff, faculty, and students, the Five Islands Campus has managed to provide greater access to high-quality higher education for our students in Antigua and Barbuda and the wider Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) subregion. Fittingly, this year’s report points to positive successes as the Five Islands Campus continued on the wave of “CONSOLIDATING THE GAINS: DEEPENING THE ACCESS REVOLUTION” to bolster all aspects of its operations underpinned by the Triple A Strategy of The University of the West Indies (UWI). Professor Williams and his committed team have embarked on a very clear strategy aimed at increasing the number of individuals who matriculate to postsecondary enrolment. In the long-term, the Five Islands Campus intends to grow its student enrolment to five thousand (5,000) within the next ten (10) years. In the short-term, however, within the next two to three years, the Campus intends to grow its enrolment to at least one thousand (1,000) students. This will be done through organic means, with the assistance of marketing and robust recruitment drives. It will also be done inorganically through stakeholder partnerships with community colleges across OECS countries and the wider Caribbean region. Specifically, exemption with credit options can be provided to these colleges where students who meet the matriculation requirements can have reduced time to complete their studies at the Five Islands Campus. In September 2019, one hundred and seventy-three (173) students enrolled at the Five Islands Campus, which then grew to three hundred and one (301) in 2020. During the year under review, the campus enrolment jumped to four hundred and twenty-six (426) students. One of the key initiatives for the next academic year is to enrol four hundred (400) students which will bring the Five Islands Campus closer to its vision of enrolling one thousand (1,000) students within three years. Toward the end of the 2020-2021 academic year, the Campus held its inaugural management retreat over two days, July 8 and 9, 2021 in an attempt to jumpstart the strategic planning initiatives for the academic year 2021-2022. Specifically, the team focused on the strategic priorities of their units, which were aligned with the overall strategic objectives of the Five Islands Campus. The organization of the retreat was diligently executed, and the contributions of leaders of the various units were stimulating, insightful, and enriching. Critically, at the end of this exercise, the key priorities were determined for the academic year 2021-2022. These priorities included the official launch of a number of key initiatives such as the Life-Long Learning Unit (LLU), Visiting Scholars Programme, the launch of two new schools and the Harvard CORe programme. The senior management of the Five Islands Campus also focused on its financial management processes aimed at increasing its surplus by 30%, while at the same time employing measures for more efficient operations that would guarantee human resource (HR) cost containment through course rationalization. Additionally, HR modernization work was implemented to ensure that staff morale and staff satisfaction levels remained high. Chaiman’s Statement

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution To support the modernization work that was being done, the HR reporting structure was revised to foster greater levels of efficiency. The management also focused on strategies to incorporate the Five Islands Campus into the Five Islands community to broaden its community outreach agenda. In relation to academic priorities, the Five Islands Campus received approval for a number of Bachelor’s and Masters programmes and is in the process of developing a general MBA programme. There is a huge demand for nurses and healthcare workers, and in this regard, the Five Islands Campus is exploring the expansion of the nursing programme, as such expansion has the potential to generate huge revenues for the enterprise as well. The campus master plan has been completed and presentations made to different stakeholder groups. The Five Islands Campus was the venue for the Five Islands community town hall meeting on May 12, 2022, which was hosted by the Ministry of Education and Sports. The town hall meeting was used to update residents on the expansion plans of the Five Islands Campus. The master plan was presented to residents and government officials. At the end of the meeting, the residents were in full support of the expansion plans. With the prospect that construction of the first phase of the master plan will commence during the second quarter of 2023, the Five Islands Campus is poised to become a modern landed campus with all the relevant amenities that university students demand and deserve. The Five Islands Campus will continue its quest towards achieving its mission and vision as it CONSOLIDATES THE GAINS TO DEEPEN THE ACCESS REVOLUTION. Chaiman’s Statement Chairman Mr. Aziz Hadeed

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution PRINCIPAL’S OVERVIEW Despite being in the midst of a global pandemic, the academic year 2021-2022 provided yet another stellar performance towards building the foundation for the Five Islands Campus in advancing the Access revolution in post-secondary education in the OECS region, the raison d’être for the establishment of this 4th landed campus of The UWI. The leadership team of the campus, faculty, staff, students, governmental stakeholders, external stakeholders in industry and nongovernmental organizations, and our erstwhile team of experts who sit on various governance boards led by our Campus Council Chairman, Hon. Aziz Hadeed must be commended and celebrated for the work they continue to do in promoting the mission and vision of the Five Islands Campus and the wider UWI enterprise. This year’s annual report titled: “CONSOLIDATING THE GAINS: DEEPENING THE ACCESS REVOLUTION”, is quite timely, as it reflects a myriad of achievements of the Five Islands Campus in a short space of time since its establishment just 36 months prior. and during one of the most uncertain periods of the last century, in the management of global enterprises. The gains made in teaching and learning, research and innovation, the built environment, alignment with industry, and building the institutional profile of the campus, during this period, are critical to laying the foundation for a strong and sustainable takeoff for the years ahead. For, without this foundation, the noble aspiration of assisting the OECS region to increase its post-secondary enrolment rate from 20% to over 60% within a decade will not be realized. However, with the solid achievements detailed in the body of this report, it is clear that the much-deepening access to post-secondary education within Antigua and Barbuda and the wider OECS region is not only aspirational but is realizable and within reach of the many underserved sections of the population. The Five Islands Campus is making steady progress annually to live up to its mission and vision as outlined in the wider UWI Triple A Strategic Plan. The leadership of the Five Islands Campus engaged in painstaking planning and execution of projects and initiatives over the past year that were geared towards making the vision a reality. This report details some critical strategic accomplishments for 2021- 2022 which have now established the campus as a solid, high-quality academic institution within the OECS region. These achievements have laid to rest all doubts about the viability and sustainability of the Five Islands Campus within the OECS region. When the Five Islands Campus started in September 2019, it had only 173 students and a handful of academic programmes adopted from the Cave Hill Campus in Barbados. Within 36 months, it grew its student enrolment to over 400, increased its staff and faculty complement, increased its programme offerings, entrenched its profile within the domestic marketplace, and has set itself as a force to be reckoned with in the higher education sector within the region. As will be gleaned from this report, the Five Islands Campus, over the academic year, was able to launch two new schools: one in business and management and the other in science, computing, and artificial intelligence. Both institutional arrangements are critical to the diversification of our offerings so that we can meet the needs of the society we serve. The schools will help to increase the number of globally competitive human resources in the field of management, a crucial element in improving the competitiveness of institutions that operate in the Antigua and Barbuda economy and the wider OECS region. Similarly, our School of Science, Computing and Artificial Intelligence will be geared towards producing the next set of digital learners who can design and establish large and multinational enterprises to operate in the sharing economy. To this end, the Five Islands Campus now offers a BSc interdisciplinary programme in Data Science, Principal’s Overview

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Innovation Management, and Computing to train our human capital in the various disciplines necessary for operating in the new world of work. Further, the Five Islands Campus also signed a number of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with leading universities to strengthen our partnership in teaching and learning and research and innovation, aimed to foster a more globally competitive set of graduates. Accordingly, the Five Islands Campus signed MOUs with Harvard Business School (HBS) and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) over the academic year as a manifestation of the diversity of our partnership to achieve further advancement in our teaching and learning and research portfolio. In addition, the MOU with Harvard Business School also provided an opportunity for the Five Islands Campus to operate in the market for shortcycle courses to assist in increasing the credential of persons in the workforce in the OECS region. As such, the Five Islands Campus launched its Lifelong Learning Unit to offer short-cycle courses to complement our senate approved academic programmes. The Harvard Credential of Readiness (Harvard CORe) is one of the flagship programmes in this unit. It has revolutionized the short-cycle course market and has assisted the LLU to earn significant revenue for the campus. Besides the developments in teaching and learning, the Five Islands Campus also made significant strides in other areas of its development. The Five Islands Campus, in its incipient years, operated from facilities that were purpose-built for a secondary school. As such, a number of amenities were not in place to accommodate a university-type operation. Through the Campus’ Projects, Planning and Facilities Office, detailed work was done in improving the physical plant. Several new offices were built, upgrade of classroom facilities, installation of multimedia technologies within classrooms, improvements to the campus grounds, among other things, were done to improve the aesthetics of the teaching and learning and working environment. These infrastructural works and upgrades, while continuous, have contributed towards significant improvements in staff and student satisfaction as shown in the UWI Staff ad Student Satisfaction Survey in 2022. Importantly, despite the significant investments and outlay of operational expenditure to ensure the campus is fully functional, the leadership remained fiscally prudent and as such, the Five Islands Campus was able to turn out another year of healthy surplus. Indeed, the Five Islands Campus continues to build a strong balance sheet to position itself for a long and sustainable future. We are also grateful to our various donors and partners who have made significant contributions to our scholarship and bursaries to assist our students to meet their financial obligations while gaining university level qualifications. Higher education is not cheap, and with so many of our population still below the poverty line, the costs of attaining tertiary education can be quite prohibitive for them. Our sponsors must be commended for their generosity, and we look forward to their continued involvementin the work of our university for years to come. As we closed out the academic year 2021-2022, I must say how pleased I am to see our students rising and achieving greatness in their various fields of endeavour. For a very young campus, I am very pleased to see our students entering major regional competitions and taking top spots from among a plethora of highly competitive teams from other universities and campuses. Our students’ entry and top placement in the Artificial Intelligence Climate Studies challenge is quite inspiring and motivational. They should be congratulated. I am also pleased to see the maturing of our Guild Council and the very professional way in which they go about conducting the affairs on behalf of our students. This is, indeed, Principal’s Overview PRINCIPAL’S OVERVIEW(continued)

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution a proud moment for the growth and development of our Five Islands Campus. While we celebrate the successes of the Five Islands Campus over the academic year, we could not have achieved so many things without the steadfastness and commitment of our internal community of staff, faculty, and associates. They have worked tirelessly to ensure that the initiatives that were agreed on, were executed in a timely manner and with tremendous efficiency. I am eternally grateful to the team for their continued support. To all our stakeholders both internal and external, I do hope you enjoy reading this report and continue to pledge your support and commitment to the growth and development of The UWI Five Islands Campus. Principal’s Overview Campus Principal Professor Densil A. Williams PRINCIPAL’S OVERVIEW(continued)

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution The Five Islands Campus celebrated its second anniversary on September 3, 2021, with tremendous accomplishments. Some of these are highlighted in this report. The leadership of the Five Islands Campus has maintained a focus on its vision of building a globally competitive academy, and to this end, continues its engagement with key stakeholders to help to move the institution forward. In the broadest sense, the Five Islands Campus’ mission is to support the vision and mission of the University of the West Indies. In the OECS subregion, there is a low level of enrolment, which has significantly impacted the region’s ability to grow and have a competitive economy. With this glaring inadequacy of globally competitive human resources, the focus of The UWI Five Islands Campus will be to build capacity in the human resources of the region in order to: • enable firms within the private sector to enhance their long-term growth and ultimate survival. • enable national economies to overcome the continuous scar of low growth, unsustainable high unemployment, and low levels of productivity. Resolute Campus Leadership The Five Islands Campus continues to enhance the gains made after three years of existence with a focused team under the leadership of Principal, Professor Densil A. Williams. With the management team benefitting from the visionary leadership of Principal Williams, the Campus has swiftly continued the building of a robust plan aimed at ensuring that it fully embraced the broader framework of The UWI Triple A Strategic Plan of; Access, Alignment, and Agility. Continued Support of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda The Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GoAB) has continued to provide its unwavering support to the Five Islands Campus. From the inception of the campus, the host government agreed to be the main source of financial support for the campus in its first five (5) years of operation. This substantial support has manifested itself through financial contributions for the enhancement of infrastructure development and the continued support to students of the campus through the government’s scholarship programme. The Five Islands Campus and the wider UWI remain eternally grateful to the government and people of Antigua and Barbuda for the partnership in building a strong and vibrant university campus to enhance the human capital stock of the region.

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Figure 3: LLU’s 2022 Catalogue of Professional Development Courses programme. The LLU registered 82 students for this flagship programme during the period of review. In addition to the Harvard CORe registrants, the LLU registered another 136 students between January and July 2022 in a number of professional development short courses. In light of the increasing popularity of the programmes offered by the LLU, it produced its 2022 Catalogue of Professional Development Courses aimed at generating greater interest in its course offerings and kicked off the semester with four short courses on January 24, 2022. There was a relatively high demand for the Project Management course evidenced by the 20+ registrants for the course. During the year under review, the LLU also rolled out a number of niche short courses to include: • Developing Personal and Business Money Management Skills • Marketing in a Digital World, and • Fundamentals of Cyber Security. On April 11, 2022, the LLU launched a suite of three additional courses to include: • Project Management II • Leadership with Agility and High Performance • Entrepreneurship: The Power of an Idea FIC: Mission & Vision The Five Islands Campus

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Figure 3: LLU’s 2022 Catalogue of Professional Development Courses The LLU in conjunction with the Academic Affairs Division hosted students from Lehigh University on the climate change agenda. Without a doubt, the establishment of the LLU has been a game-changer in the continuing education landscape of the Five Islands Campus and has enhanced its overall finances in a significant manner. Deepening in Alignment During academic year 2021-2022, the Five Islands Campus continued to foster closer working relationships with its industry partners through various strategic and operational initiatives. The flagship Public Advocacy Series resumed its online presence on November 19, 2021. The presenter was Professor Bharat Anand of Harvard University who spoke on the theme: “Digital Transformation in a Post-COVID-19 World”. This lecture was both apt and timely, as our own UWI had already started to develop its digital transformation agenda. The Public Advocacy Series hosted by the Five Islands Campus provided a platform to engage in public conversations around policy and developmental issues targeting topics of interest and intellectual discourse critical to national, regional, and international development.

Fostering Greater Agility Organizational Restructuring The Office of the Campus Principal had undertaken to review the organizational design of the campus after receiving feedback from internal stakeholders. The Senior Management Team then agreed to streamline the administrative operations for greater efficiency. The realigned structure took effect September 1, 2021, and involved: • The relocation of the Student Administration Services (SAS) Unit to the Academic Affairs Division. SAS was renamed Enrolment Management Unit (EMU), with portfolio responsibility for student recruitment, retention, and awards. In addition, the EMU was charged with providing institutional research to support better learning outcomes for students. The Unit was headed by an Assistant Registrar and had a dotted line relationship with the Enterprise Resource Planning team within the Registry to better streamline business processes. • The Enterprise Resource Planning Officer (Functional Analyst) who reported to the Assistant Registrar (formerly) SAS now reported directly to the Director of Administration. • The HR function which reported to the Registry now reported to the Office of the Campus Principal. • The Student Support and Success Services was restructured to focus on: the management of students’ clubs and societies, the guild operations, student-related functions and ceremonies, counselling, processing for accommodation, and sporting activities. The aim was to provide focused attention in this area, which is expected to provide improved service delivery. FIC: Mission & Vision

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Table 2: Gantt Chart for Roll-out of Infrastructure Work Short-term initiatives - These interventions are concerned with addressing the immediate needs of the Five Islands Campus as well as the establishment of a functional framework within which the future development of the campus can be effectively executed. The Five Islands Campus, in academic year 2021-2022, engaged in significant upgrades to its existing infrastructure to improve the work environment for faculty and staff, and also, the teaching and learning environment for students. Below is a list of major works that have been carried out and completed over the planning cycle. Remedial and Upgrading Works • Water and Sewage Systems Upgrade: - Work continued on the potable water supply and sewage treatment facilities during the period spearheaded by the Public Works Department of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. These upgrades remain critical components due to their impact on the operations of the campus. • Quadrangle Landscaping Upgrade: - The signature space of the campus received a landscape upgrade which was completed in time for Graduation 2021. FIC: Mission & Vision FIC CAMP Culture Workshop As part of the Five Islands Campus’ remit to fulfil the strategic objective of building a Caring Accountable Motivated and Professional (CAMP) culture, the leadership team participated in in-person and online sessions of the CAMP Culture Workshop. The workshop was held over the period March 2022 to June 2022. Building toward the Infrastructure Revolution The Campus Master Plan Using the approved CAMPUS PHYSICAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK the Five Islands Campus aggressively advanced plans to increase the physical footprint of the campus with a view to providing new facilities that are necessary to carry out its mission. This development saw the advancement of short- and mediumterm initiatives in partnership with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. Table 2 captures the timeline for the roll-out of the various initiatives.

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Figure 8: Quadrangle Landscaping Renovation Works • Phase 1A Renovation works include: * Five offices for Heads of School * Eleven offices for lecturers * One staff lounge * One meeting room * Conference room upgrade * Creation of two large classrooms * Acoustic correction in classrooms (Phase 1) • Phase 1B Renovation works include: * Six departmental suites – During the period, offices spaces were created for the (1) Student Support and Success Services, (2) Enrolment Management, (3) Human Resources, (4) Information Technology, (5) Finance and (6) Projects and Planning Units. * The Campus Counselor's office was established and outfitted. * Medical station space was provisioned and is awaiting outfitting by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. * Central campus storage facilities established. Designing the Master Plan Medium-term interventions for the proposed new buildings will take into account the immediate and anticipated needs of student and staff population growth as well as course offerings. These buildings include but are not limited to; a new administrative complex, student housing (Phase 1-200 beds), instructional space complex (lecture theatres, etc.), and learning resource centre (library). a. Land acquisition– In order to execute the master plan, there is an immediate need for additional land as the campus currently sits on only 8 acres and the additional space requires at least another 50 acres. The Five Islands Campus successfully collaborated with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda and secured 40 acres of land adjacent to the existing plant. This includes lands now occupied by the aging, Five Islands Primary School which is to be rebuilt in a new location. Below is a pictorial representation of the land acquired for the expansion of the campus. FIC: Mission & Vision

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Figure 9: Land Acquired for Campus Expansion b. Master plan design – Boston-based Sasaki Associates was selected as the design consultant to execute the master plan design. Being mindful of the limited land available, a vertical campus of buildings ranging from 3 to 6 stories was envisaged that factored in the various requirements of the Campus’ stakeholders. An elegant design was produced by the consultants that seeks to accommodate 11,250 students and staff in 2,855,224 sq. ft. when fully built out. This is expected to be implemented in four phases over the next 15 years. From these engagements, the pictures below provide representations of the planning framework and the buildout of the physical plant.

Securing funding to execute the master plan– The first phase of the expansion is estimated to cost circa XCD200M or USD70M including the primary school reconstruction and remedial work to the existing campus. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda with technical support from the Five Islands Campus, successfully secured a USD80M loan from the Saudi Fund for Development to operationalize the execution of the master plan. This funding will ensure that the medium-term initiatives remain on track for construction commencing in 2023.

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Celebrating Student Engagement and Success Orientation The academic year started with a bang as the campus went into orientation session to welcome its new and returning students despite being in the midst of a global pandemic. The orientation was planned for August 23-27, 2021, using face-to-face modality. However, the COVID-19 pandemic worsened, and as a consequence, the orientation for the academic year 2021-2022 was conducted in a hybrid format with the majority of sessions conducted online. Orientation opened with an introduction of the leaders of Academic Affairs, Dr. Curtis Charles and the Director of Administration, Ms. Daniella Hickling. This was followed by an introduction to the Guild of Students. The activities included but were not limited to: 1. Discussion on issues affecting registration, which was led by Ms. Denise Gardiner, admissions officer in the Enrolment Management Unit. 2. An important session on how students should access the registration portal was led by staff of the Open Campus. 3. A session on academic advising was conducted by the Director of Academic Affairs, Dr. Curtis Charles and ably supported by the academic staff of the respective schools. 4. The Student Support and Success Services team introduced an extremely important session on time management in the pursuit of academic excellence. 5. The very important areas of financial management and strategies for utilizing payment plans offered by the University were discussed by the staff in the Office of Finance. The money management talk appeared to be quite impactful as the data shows that there was a 100% increase in students utilizing the Five Islands Campus’ payment plan as opposed to leaving their payments to the last minute and then trying to find a lump sum of cash to settle their outstanding payments. The week of orientation ended with a hike to the historical Fort Barrington cumulating with a beach activity at Deep Bay. Matriculation Ceremony The Five Islands Campus celebrated its top matriculant Ms. Raven Joseph at its third matriculation ceremony held on September 24, 2021. The ceremony was held in a blended format with a virtual component and a small gathering of about 20 persons who attended the campus for the event. In-person participants complied with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda’s health protocols enforced for the COVID-19 pandemic. Attendees included the leadership of the Five Islands Campus, representatives from the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, staff, students, matriculants, and their well-wishers. FIC: Mission & Vision

Annual Report 2021-2022 Consolidating The Gains: Deepening The Access Revolution Outreach Activity to Fiennes Institute During the year under review, students visited the Fiennes Institute as part of the Guild’s outreach initiatives. This initiative was carried out to create an awareness in students of the need to acknowledge the role that the elderly in our society play in paving the way for the quality of life we now enjoy and understand it is part of our civic duty to celebrate them. Both the students and residents enjoyed the visit. The residents enjoyed the performance the students presented and responded with performances of their own as they danced and sang along. All agreed that this was not going to be a one-time event. Talk on the Power of Saying No This important talk was to create awareness for self-care. This idea allowed students to better understand how and when to say, NO. The many reflective conversations allowed them to have better control of their time and energy and to maintain their integrity. SoHBS Nursing Students Health Fair The health fair provided the campus community with the opportunity to get the necessary blood pressure and diabetes screening. The students from the School of Health and Behavioural Sciences’ Nursing programme enjoyed themselves while gaining some valuable expertise in the nursing process. Overall, the feedback from the general campus community was positive, and the event was deemed to be a resounding success. It is anticipated that the health fair will be an annual event. Observance of Down Syndrome Day Campus Counselor, Ms. Renee Smith was a guest on the University Hour, a radio programme, talking about Down Syndrome and how individuals can support and respect others living with this and other types of disability. There was also the wearing of mixed-matched socks to celebrate Down Syndrome Day. Members of faculty and staff across the campus community all participated in this activity. The overall support for this event was indeed tremendous. FIC: Mission & Vision
