“The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) is 
deeply and authentically committed to 
ensuring that the unique cultures and 
heritages of the U.S. Virgin Islands and the 
wider Caribbean are researched, compiled, 
cultivated and disseminated broadly.  This 
should always be a core responsibility of a 
University situated within a social and cultural 
context as UVI.” 
—Dr. David Hall, UVI President (2012) 
 
The VICCC provides research resources for the
UVI CLASS Caribbean Cultural Studies (CCS)
Minor and Certificate Programs.  CCS “allows
students to convert an interest in the diverse
heritage from which the Caribbean identity is
forged into a recognized part of their university
degree…international studies or Caribbean
cultural ambassadorships.”
