Office of the Deputy to the President
The Office of the Deputy to the President is a subset of the Office of the University President. The Deputy to the President deputizes for the University President in his absence. In addition to deputizing for the University President in his absence, this office is expected to lead the Subcommittee of the Academic Board as assigned. The Office of the Deputy to the President acts as a liaison between the university and its external stakeholders, other educational institutions, and industry partners to promote efficiency and effectiveness.
The Deputy to the President is also responsible for managing and overseeing the following four units: the International Affairs Office, Research Agenda and Publication, the Quality Assurance Department and the University Library
Departments
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS OFFICE
Though the office is presently not staffed, the responsibilities are managed by both the Deputy to the President and his Executive Assistant. All issues relating to external affairs such as the management of partnerships to include MOU are attended to. In the recent time, the University has signed several Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) and Memorandum of Agreements (MoAs) with other educational institutions and corporate organizations. These partnerships are to be managed in the interest of the University and the various partners.
RESEARCH AGENDA AND PUBLICATION
The university serves as a knowledge hub for its clients and the Maritime and Shipping sectors in the Caribbean. The unit supports academic writing and publication through research activities and publishes the university's journal - The International Journal of
Maritime Themes. Additionally, the unit is in the process of establishing a new journal with Emerald Ingenta. The unit coordinates and plans the bi-annual Industry/Academic Conference.
THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
The library is the heart of university educational resources serving the students, faculty members, external stakeholders and partners that require the services of the library. The University library assists students to source materials that are not available at the library from other universities. The library maintains both electronic and non-electronic resource materials and other database resource materials.
QUALITY ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT
The Quality Assurance Department plays a pivotal role in the development and continued maintenance of the quality assurance mechanisms of the Caribbean Maritime University. The principles on which quality assurance is built in the University are developmental, and are part of the strategy for ensuring the highest quality teaching and learning curricula, research and academic operations.
