Autumn Charles Publications committee chairperson

Students at The University of the West Indies, Five Islands Campus (UWI FIC) have launched a new digital newsletter, The Frigate Post, designed to showcase campus life, creativity, and student achievements.

The initiative, led by the UWI FIC Guild’s Publications Committee, aims to provide a platform “made by students, for students,” according to committee members. The newsletter features a mix of content, from sports highlights and event recaps to opinion pieces, art, and photography contributed by students across the campus.

“The goal was simple: to connect the campus community through storytelling while highlighting the talent and creativity of our students,” the committee said. “We wanted to create something fun, engaging, and informative, where every student could see a bit of themselves reflected.”

Each issue of The Frigate Post is carefully curated, written, and edited by a team of student volunteers who dedicate hours to ensuring accuracy, quality, and creativity. The publication also features lighter content, including a “Joke of the Day,” reflecting the vibrant and dynamic life of UWI FIC.

Since its launch, the newsletter has grown into a campus tradition, capturing the energy and spirit of the student body while offering a space for students to share their voices and creativity.

“We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re excited to keep growing,” the committee added. “Every issue tells a piece of our campus story, and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.”

The Frigate Post is now available online and welcomes contributions from all students of UWI Five Islands Campus.

  1. Ms. Charles,
    Congratulations on you and your colleagues in your Student Students endeavors.

    With the decline of professional local news, such as Digicel recently announcing the immediate closure of its Caribbean-wide news platform Loop News and plans to wind down regional sport coverage these are events for students like yourselves to step in and fill the void
    Student journalists are increasingly filling the gap by providing essential community coverage. This trend has been noted by several journalism institutes and academics.
    The Caribbean Community lacks investigative journalism as well as probing interviews with local business and government leaders.
    Get veyoubd the PRO statement. Aim high and good luck.
