About this Holiday Card design:

As a global University rooted in the Caribbean region, that is home to 70+ languages, we pay tribute to this decade that has been designated UN International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032) with the celebration of some of our indigenous, ancestral languages, alongside foreign tongues. For The UWI, 2022 also marked the implementation of our Foreign Language Requirement initiative for all undergraduate students., signalling our evolution as a multilingual institution.
