Cultural and Entertainment Affairs Hall vs Hall Cook Off A major mandate for the CEAC committee led by councillor, Jhe’Vonté Webster, was to focus on the cultural elements at play within the University of the West Indies. Thus, the team embarked on an initiative called Hall v Hall Cook off where the halls of residence prepared meals with the theme Sunday Dinner. The food items were provided by the CEAC and the hall with the best tasting food and alignment with the theme were declared the winners. The winner was Chancellor Hall.
The Ms UWI Mona Pageant was held on April 15th 2022 at the assembly hall where 12 female students of the University vied for the crown and the title of Ms. UWI Mona. Over 200 patrons attended the event as they cheered for their individual favourites. This pageant provided opportunities for our students to come out of their shells and grow as individuals as they were exposed to the real world of pageantry. The winner of the pageant this year is Ms. Aalyia Cato who with her new title will serve as an ambassador of the University of the West Indies and aims to execute a number of charitable projects in the upcoming academic year.
Faculty and Hall Pageants: Many of our committees held pageants to curate spaces for our students to engage with one another and learn key skills of teamwork, confidence and speech. This includes the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Medical Sciences, the Irvine Hall, Taylor Hall, the ELR Towers Hall and the Faculty of Science and Technology.
