The University of the West Indies (The UWI) has announced the appointment of Professor Densil A. Williams as Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal of its Five Islands Campus, located in Antigua and Barbuda.
His appointment was approved by the University Council at its meeting on May 13 and the university says the Government of Antigua and Barbuda has indicated its keenness to work with Williams in advancing the Five Islands Campus as a key objective within The UWI’s strategic plan.
Prior to his appointment, Professor Williams was one of the lead authors of The UWI Five Islands Campus’ feasibility study which was approved by the University Council.
During his tenure as Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal, Williams will provide leadership on multiple strategic objectives, including project management in order to maintain compliance with the business model on which the campus was established; maintaining effective operations; and collaborating with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in building out a cost-effective infrastructure and human resource architecture.
Williams succeeds Professor Stafford A. Griffith who took on the role as Interim Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal from August 15, 2019.
