TeachTech - I.T. Training and Solutions

On behalf of The University of the West Indies (The UWI) community, Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Hilary Beckles offers the following tribute to Caribbean Renaissance Man and Professor Emeritus of History, Sir Fitzroy 'Roy' Augier, on his 100th birth anniversary.

“On December 17, 2024, Sir Fitzroy “Roy” Augier celebrated his 100th birthday. What a magnificent ongoing innings – 100 not out! Scholar, educator, activist, World War II veteran, and administrator, Roy is a true Caribbean Renaissance Man. He continues to inspire us to reflect on our Caribbean history, how we perceive ourselves – not as how others perceive us, and how that sense of ownership and belonging should help us to fulfil a vision of a strong Caribbean civilisation in the future.

Born in Castries, Saint Lucia, he attended elementary and secondary schools before heading off to serve in the Royal Air Force as a gunner. After the war ended, he completed an MA and PhD in History at St Andrews University in Scotland, then made Jamaica his home for the next seventy years of his stellar century. Jamaica and The University of the West Indies were the bases from which he made significant contributions to shaping the direction of teaching and learning across the Caribbean at several levels across the decades.

Nikita Greenidge aims to revolutionise the STEM industry in the developing world
St. Lucian Nikita Greenidge is currently pursuing her PhD in Surgical Robotics at the University of Leeds, UK.

Her primary area of study is in the field of robotic endoscopy, with a particular emphasis on magnetically manipulated endoscopes.

Greenidge is currently at the Science and Technology of Robotics in Medicine (STORM) Lab at the University of Leeds.

She says on her LinkedIn page that “Robotic surgery is the future and it is important that we make sure that it is a future for many and not only for a few”.

She goes on that add that “having grown up in the small Caribbean island of St. Lucia, it is my mission to revolutionise the STEM industry in the developing world and to inspire the next generation to get involved! I am continuously looking for new ways to achieve this but my current outreach strategy is based on engaging Secondary School students through interactive workshops and courses which demonstrate practical STEM concepts”.

On behalf of the ECACH, our Directors, and all of our participating institutions, we extend warm wishes to all Anguillans on the occasion of National Heroes & Heroines Day.
