This fall’s orientation for new and transfer students enrolling in the University of the Virgin Islands will feature first-ever convocation sessions for new students on UVI’s campuses on St. Thomas and St. Croix. “This year marks the beginning of a new tradition: the New Student Convocation,” said UVI Provost Dr. Camille McKayle. She described the convocation as a “formal activity that underscores, for the new students, that this is the beginning of a new phase in their lives – different from high school and uniquely UVI.” A news release is available in the Media Section of the UVI website – http://www.uvi.edu – and from this direct link.
