Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,
Welcome to Fall 2025!
It’s a fresh new semester, and I’m thrilled to welcome you back—or welcome you for the first time—to the University of the Virgin Islands.
Over the summer, UVI has been hard at work preparing students for future careers and deepening our impact in the community. From internship placements to skill-building initiatives and outreach programs, the university has been gaining momentum—setting the stage for a strong and inspiring Fall 2025 semester.
This year brings meaningful changes across our campuses, and while change can sometimes feel uncertain, it also opens the door to incredible opportunities.
We are entering an exciting chapter in our university’s journey—one where we lean into innovation and collaboration, the heart of UVI. I encourage you to approach this semester with a spirit of optimism and unity. Let’s build something remarkable together.
Here’s to a bold and inspiring semester ahead.
With Care,
Dr. Safiya George
President, University of the Virgin Islands
