As the leading teaching and research University in the Caribbean, many depend on us and will continue to depend on us throughout this growing crises. Our very own doctors and nurses are on the frontline and we too have a role to play.

Our challenge is to balance our response to the pandemic - the protection of our students and staff, while maintaining the essential operations of our University – which also serves to benefit members of the wider community. For the most part, the University will be pivoting to a very different but necessary mode of 'remote work', however, there are some teams that will be needed to ensure the health and safety of not just our very own students and staff, but those in surrounding communities.
