Copeland inducted as UWI principal

The University of the West Indies Pro Vice Chancellor Prof Brian Copeland has been formally inducted as the eighth principal of The UWI’s St Augustine campus.
The induction ceremony took place at the institution on Saturday evening.

Copeland succeeds former principal Prof Clement Sankat, who retired last year after serving in the position for two consecutive terms (2008-2016).

The new campus principal is credited with revolutionising this country’s national instrument, the pan.
