THE UVM HAS HAD A LONGSTANDING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SINCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MUTUAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT.
Student researchers and faculty from the University of Vermont (UVM) are preparing to conduct an islandwide survey on the impact of inflation on local consumers.
The UVM has had a longstanding relationship with the Consumer Affairs Department which has allowed for the undertaking of various research and philanthropic projects throughout the island, since the establishment of a Mutual Cooperation Agreement in 2004.
In the past, CAD staff have pursued short-term courses in the Consumer Assistance Program and Research Techniques and Methods at the UVM and continue to benefit from in-country training sessions in Consumer Law, Research Techniques and Methods, and Report Writing delivered by the university's lecturers.
A media briefing was held on Monday, Jan. 8 at the Consumer Affairs Department. An annual UVM Projects Presentation Closing Ceremony will follow, scheduled for Friday, Jan. 12, at the Dolphin Conference Room, Bay Gardens Resort in Rodney Bay, at 9:30 a.m. During this ceremony, students are expected to present their survey findings.
