BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — On Saturday, Prime Minister Mia Mottley and Adtalem Global Education president and CEO Lisa Wardell joined with dignitaries, business leaders and other community stakeholders for the grand opening of Ross University School of Medicine’s (RUSM) new campus in Barbados.
With classes beginning on Monday, the opening program celebrated the start of the semester and a new permanent home for RUSM in Barbados.
“The government and people of Barbados warmly welcome the students, faculty and staff of Ross University to their new home on our island,” Mottley said, while thanking all those persons involved in ensuring that the new campus was completed in a timely fashion. “We look forward to mutually satisfying interactions between the members of RUSM and the many Barbadians with whom they will come into contact on a daily basis through housing, transportation, commercial or recreational activity.”
The prime minister expressed the hope that the visitors would “grasp the opportunities to become immersed in our culture.”
Mottley added: “Barbados’ partnership with Adtalem Global Education is indeed a valuable element in this country’s thrust to expand its reach in the area of educational tourism.”
