UWI Five Islands Principal to take over as Principal of Mona Campus in Jamaica
The Principal of the University of the West Indies Five Island Campus Professor Densil Williams has been promoted to the Principal of Mona Campus in Jamaica. His position takes effect on August 1.
Professor Williams succeeds Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal, Professor Dale Webber who resumes teaching and research duties as a Marine Biologist after July 31, 2023.
University Registrar Dr. D. Maurice Smith said, “at its last meeting on April 26, the University Council deferred its decision to appoint a Principal for the Mona Campus as the Government of Jamaica requested additional time to consult.
He said “having completed this process and consequently advised the Chancellor of the outcome, Council proceeded to appoint Professor Williams on the recommendation of the Vice-Chancellor in keeping with the University’s Statutes and Ordinances.”
Adding, “the University community thanks Professor Webber for his stewardship and sterling service and welcomes Professor Williams to his new role as head of the University’s largest and oldest campus.”
UWI said Professor Williams, “whose current post is that of Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal of The UWI’s Five Islands Campus in Antigua and Barbuda, has built a career in business and academia for over 22 years”.
He was also commended as being someone with “a remarkable record of public service, research and scholarly work serving on a number of boards of state entities, private sector organisations, committees, as well as regional and international editorial boards”
