Re: UWW Faculty Committee Report, 2003-2004 Academic Year

Date: May 20, 2004

During the 2003-2004 academic year, the University Without Walls Committee met twenty-four times. In January 2004, two Committee faculty members joined the Dean of Special Programs, the Director of UWW and several UWW academic advisors on Antigua to recruit new students to the program, and to review and approve degree plans for students finishing their studies. UWW has established a connection with the Antigua and Barbuda Union of Teachers, and most students recruited by UWW are teachers on
the island. A total of sixty students presented their degree programs to the Committee for review, an increase of 13% over the previous academic year, and received guidance from the Committee regarding their final projects. The Committee recommended to the Faculty that 28 students receive the Bachelor of Arts degree and that 36 students receive the Bachelor of Science degree. This represents an increase of 68% of
degrees awarded compared to the 2002-2003 academic year.

UWW continues to attract a diverse and dedicated student body with majors in a variety of fields such as art, business, anthropology, theater, social work, economics, history, and sociology. The students have continued their education while supporting families and maintaining professional careers. The Committee is proud of their achievements and is always inspired by their hard work and determination. The Committee is also thankful for the UWW staff's dedication in guiding and advising these students.
They do a tremendous job!
