UWI St Augustine has announced its Valedictorians for the 2024 Graduation Ceremonies.

They are:

• Melissa Edwards – Faculties of Science & Technology and Food & Agriculture
• Koffi Paul – Faculties of Engineering and Law
• Lyan Lagan – Faculty of Social Sciences
• Antoni Manette – Faculty of Social Sciences
• Alexandria Douglas – Faculties of Humanities & Education and Sport
• Selena Fazia Deochand – Faculty of Medical Sciences

The process of choosing valedictorians starts with the nomination of five students from each Faculty at the St. Augustine Campus.

Nominees are selected on academic performance, public speaking skills, and their involvement in extra and co-curricular activities.

Once these nominees confirm their interest, they prepare an address to deliver to a panel and are scored based on content, organization, expression, and presentation.

After very careful deliberations and based on the highest scores, valedictorians are selected.

Graduations for the different faculties will be held from October 24-26th, 2024.
