UWI Fete: Escape to ParadiseUWI Fete presents their annual all-inclusive with the theme Cuba – Escape to Paradise. The UWI Fete is the cornerstone of The University of the West Indies Development and Endowment Fund (UWIDEF) as proceeds from the fete go towards UWI Fete 2015, bursaries to deserving UWI students across all seven faculties of the institution. Since inception, the fete as well as the UWI Golf Classic has facilitated the award of more than 3,000 bursaries by UWIDEF. Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal, Professor Clement Sankat said that the success of The UWI Development and Endowment Fund is largely due to the steadfast dedication of The UWI Fete Committee. He noted that it is through their work that the UWIDEF continues to provide the young people of Trinidad and Tobago and the region with opportunities for higher education despite the challenging economic environment nationally, regionally and internationally. He also saluted the patrons for their continued support of the fete, which is set to return in January 2017. Here is a look back at a good time. |
