In the regular session of its quarterly meeting on Oct. 26, the University of the Virgin Islands Board of Trustees voted to hold the current tuition rate steady for the 2014-2015 academic year, approved a new method to link the university’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to the strategic plan, and set the 2014 fundraising goal to $3 million. The meeting was held on UVI’s Albert A. Sheen Campus on St. Croix and all trustees were present.
During the meeting, UVI President Dr. David Hall presented the President’s Appreciation Award to Webmaster Moneca Pinkett and the UVI Website Committee for developing the UVI website which was unveiled in August. Board Chairman Alex Moorhead recognized Alumni Trustee Jacqueline Sprauve, Director of Alumni Affairs and Annual Giving Linda Smith, and the Institutional Advancement Component under the leadership of Vice President Dionne Jackson for achieving an alumni giving rate of 52 percent.
The meeting followed the formal unveiling of the new home of UVI’s College of Science and Mathematics on the Albert A. Sheen campus. Tours of the new facility, which is housed in the new UVI RTPark building, followed a brief opening ceremony.
