KINGSTON, Jamaica – Professor Clive Landis is the new principal of The University of the West Indies (The UWI), Cave Hill Campus, the first non-Caribbean person to hold that post.
This was among the official announcements coming from The UWI on Friday, including the reappointment of Professor Sir Hilary Beckles as the Vice-Chancellor for another six-year period.
Landis, who was serving as Pro Vice-Chancellor for Undergraduate Studies, migrated from Imperial College London in 2004. He succeeds Professor the Most Honourable Violet Eudine Barriteau, who is retiring. Barriteau, who is Grenadian by birth, is among the list of Caribbean heads at Cave Hill, including Leslie Robinson, Sir Sidney Martin, Sir Keith Hunte and Sir Hilary.
