UVI introduces New Website and App

ST. THOMAS, VI   The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) officially launched its new athletics website -- www.UVIAthletics.com -- on Monday evening. The release of the new website coincided with the unveiling of the Buccaneers Sports Network, a brand new mobile app for UVI.

The new website, which is a complete redesign that features the new athletics logo for the university, is a sleek and modern take that will serve as the all-important first impression of the athletic department. The website is accessible and fully responsive, whether one is viewing from a mobile phone, a tablet, or a desktop.

Buccaneers Sports Network (BSN), which is the official app for the Buccaneers, is the mobile go-to for everything UVI Athletics. The app is an absolute must-have for Buccaneer students, parents, fans, and family as you will be able to view rosters, statistics, social media feeds, live score alerts, and much more on BSN.

"The development of the Buccaneers Sports Network will help bring UVI Athletics into a new dimension," said Dr. Drew, Director of Athletics for the Buccaneers.

Another important element for BSN is the ability to send news and updates in the form of notifications regarding the Wellness Center, meaning the easy-to-use app is also a must-have for members of the Wellness Center.

"We are excited to share this beautiful reimagining with everyone at UVI." said Sports Information Director Ja'Shawn Steward-Johnson. "We are confident that this will improve the online experience of students, student-athletes, and fans of the University of the Virgin Islands by leaps and bounds."
