The Business Development Office (BDO) is at the centre of the income-generation thrust of the Mona Campus. The office was created in 1997 as part of The UWI’s Strategic Plan 1997-2002 to guide the process towards productive deployment of the campus’s physical and intellectual assets. Since then, this office has increased the earnings of the campus to contribute to the enhancement of student-centeredness through its many initiatives in accordance with each strategic plan of The UWI.
The BDO is a unit in the Office of the Principal. The Office is also represented on key Campus committees that govern the Mona Campus as well as work for better services and offerings for all campus constituents.
