It is with immense pleasure that I extend warm greetings to each of you as we kick off the inaugural issue of our Bucs Life Newsletter.  

I am truly honored to be part of such an amazing institution and to lead the UVI Office of Institutional Advancement, a multifaceted department that is so deeply connected to our community. Whether through the efforts of our Alumni Relations team that engages former students; the Development team that supports the financial needs of the University; the Public Relations team that informs our community; and the Reichhold Center for the Arts that makes the arts accessible to all, the Office of Institutional Advancement is here to serve you. 

Bucs Life is a platform where we can celebrate the remarkable achievements of our students, alumni, faculty, and staff and highlight the impact of philanthropic support. I encourage you to immerse yourself in the inspiring stories and compelling updates that showcase the vibrancy of UVI.  

I extend my deepest gratitude to the individuals and companies who remain steadfast in their unwavering support and commitment to helping us achieve our vision. It is through your dedication that we can continue to chart new paths and propel the University forward.  

Warm regards,  

Dr. Pamela Moolenaar-Wirsiy 

Interim Vice-President for Institutional Advancement
