UWI-ROYTEC is proud to share highlights from this year's Faculty Convocation held on Saturday 29 August, 2026 at our North Campus. The theme of the convocation was: Hallmarks of Excellence in Teaching and Leaning: Faculty as responsible stewards of UWI-ROYTEC’s learning spaces. This significant occasion provided the opportunity for our academic community to celebrate the enduring impact of our invaluable Faculty inside and outside of our learning spaces.
This year's event was also enriched by the presentation delivered by the distinguished feature speaker – Dr. Anna-May Edwards-Henry. Her practical insights inspired very meaningful reflection and set an encouraging tone for the academic year ahead.
