The Campus is proud that our light continues to shine through these exceptional individuals who are highly accomplished within the region and beyond. Alumni continue to maintain strong relationships with their alma mater (the Cave Hill Campus) of which they are extremely proud, and in many ways give credit for their solid foundation. Despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, during the year under review, the Alumni Relations, Student Recruitment and Retention Unit pursued several initiatives to support students and facilitate various alumni engage- ment and philanthropic activities. Many of these initiatives were successfully undertaken in collaboration with several alumni groups/clubs and associations including: The UWI Alumni Association (Barbados Chapter), The UWI Alumni Circle , The UWI Students Today Alumni Tomorrow (UWISTAT) and UWI-wide alumni relations teams, amongst others.
