The University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus marked a significant milestone on Thursday by awarding certificates to 432 graduates from its Life Long Learning Unit. The ceremony, held at the campus’s Assembly Hall, was graced by Governor General Sir Rodney Williams, alongside university officials, families, and friends. Paula Lee, Head of the Life Long Learning Unit, highlighted the increasing number of graduates as a testament to Antigua and Barbuda’s dedication to continuous education and skills enhancement. Nickishia Carr-Ramkellawan, an employee of CARDI, emerged as the top achiever, having completed four courses with the highest average. Dr. Camille Samuel, the Campus Registrar, delivered an inspiring address, encouraging graduates to embrace the values of active listening, responsible action, and the application of their knowledge to benefit others. Notably, the ceremony also celebrated the achievements of 11 inmates from His Majesty’s Prison, who successfully completed the Seeds of Hope Programme through scholarships. With its 2026 programme already announced, the Life Long Learning Unit is urging prospective students to register early to secure their spots.
