He succeeds Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal, Professor Dale Webber who resumes teaching and research duties as a Marine Biologist after July 31, 2023.
Speaking on the appointment of the Campus Principal Designate, Dr. D. Maurice Smith University Registrar, The UWI, stated, “at its last meeting on April 26, the University Council deferred its decision to appoint a Principal for the Mona Campus as the Government of Jamaica requested additional time to consult. Having completed this process and consequently advised the Chancellor of the outcome, Council proceeded to appoint Professor Williams on the recommendation of the Vice-Chancellor in keeping with the University’s Statutes and Ordinances.”
Dr. Smith continued, “the University community thanks Professor Webber for his stewardship and sterling service and welcomes Professor Williams to his new role as head of the University’s largest and oldest campus.”
Professor Williams, whose current post is that of Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal of The UWI’s Five Islands Campus in Antigua and Barbuda, has built a career in business and academia for over 22 years.
He has held a remarkable record of public service, research and scholarly work serving on a number of boards of state entities, private sector organizations, committees, as well as regional and international editorial boards.
