Augustine Newsletter (STAN), which is distributed locally, regionally and internationally to UWI students, lecturers, alumni, as well as government officials, diplomats and other UWI stakeholders.
The Prospectus won the Prospectus and Student Recruitment category, while the STAN won the Bulletins and Newsletters category in the competition.
UWI Marketing and Communications Director, Mrs. Dawn-Marie De Four-Gill, said, “We are very proud of this accomplishment, it is just another example of how highly UWI is considered internationally”.
