Technology has liberated us through its application over the past couple months. We can now see clearly what the next step has to be, the transformation of our online capability. We have fully embraced the remote online academic culture and can see the way forward with a global online campus with 50,000-100,000 global self-funding students by 2022. We have to convert, upgrade and develop this online capacity which we now have. The infrastructure of our Open Campus has provided the University with a head start. We have to follow the logic to allow online remote teaching and capability to go global even more aggressively.

Earlier this year the international rankings agency also placed The UWI in the top 1% of its Golden Age University Rankings (the best universities established for more than 50 years, but less than 80 years).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the &#8220;reputation revolution&#8221; that the institution now enjoys, he said, \u201cOur reputation is an asset and the top universities in the world want to work with us.\u201d He stated also that by the end of the current strategic plan, in the next two to three years, The UWI will be ready to leverage its technological capacity, global status and high reputation to pursue a target of 50,000-100,000 students for UWI Global Online. \u201cWe are 75% towards the attainment of this\u201d he said, noting the focus now on converting its reputation to revenue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the Senior Executive Management Team\u2019s retreat, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Global Affairs and Principal of the Open Campus, Dr. Luz Longsworth emphasised the need to capitalise on the University\u2019s current position to drive recruitment for international students.
