UCCI is now looking to recruit a new president.
UCCI Chairman Gilbert McLean, on behalf of the Board of Governors at the University College of the Cayman Islands, expressed his thanks to Robertson, for his service to the institution.
“We wish Dr. Robertson well as he moves on to other opportunities,” said McLean.
Robertson said that UCCI has achieved so much as a team during his tenure, including the expansion of academic partnerships and programmes, deepening relationships with community partners and advancing sustainability and innovation across the institution.
Other achievements include institutional and professional reaccreditations, implementing a new student information system, completing a campus master plan and sustainability plan, and successfully completing the RESEMBID climate change and resilience grant which has assisted UCCI in developing its brand as a leader in environmental and sustainability efforts regionally and globally. In addition, significant efforts were made to support faculty and staff in upskilling to meet the emerging challenges impacting the education sector.
“I would like to thank all of the faculty and staff at UCCI for the wonderful opportunity to work with such a dedicated and talented team focused on serving our students,” Robertson said, adding his thanks to UCCI board and leadership team.
“It has been a privilege and an honour to serve as president and CEO of the University College of the Cayman Islands.”
