MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Welcome to the 2025/2026 academic year at the Eugene Dupuch Law School. On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Eugene Dupuch Law School, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all students, both new and returning, as we begin another chapter in our legal education journey. We are proud to host a diverse student body representing jurisdictions across the Common Law Caribbean. We look forward to the vibrant exchange of ideas and experiences that this diversity brings.

This year, under the theme “Grounded in Law, Shaping Culture, Serving All Communities,” we recommit ourselves to e recommit ourselves to academic excellence, professional integrity, and meaningful service. Orientation Week, commencing 15 September, 2025, sets the tone for what promises to be a dynamic and enriching year. We are especially excited to close the week with our 5K Fun Run Walk, a celebration of wellness, unity, and shared purpose.

As we embrace the new year, with its new challenges and new opportunities, we also look forward to engaging meaningfully with community partners, both locally and across the region and globe. Community service remains a cornerstone of our mission, and we are committed to preparing students not only for the practice of law, but for leadership and service in their communities. The support and collaboration of alumni, the legal fraternity, and the wider community remain vital to our mission, and we are eager to deepen these connections in the year ahead.

I wish each of you a successful, fulfilling, and inspiring academic year.

Tonya Bastian Galanis, C.D.
