UWI TODAY
– SUNDAY 19 MARCH, 2017
UWI Fete 2017 was held on January 29.
Titled
“Wanderlust – Taste the World,”
it drew a massive
crowd to the Principal’s Grounds at St. Augustine for
live performances from some of Trinidad and Tobago’s
greatest soca, calypso and chutney stars. This year’s
fete also treated partygoers to cuisine from all over the
world. But beneath the splendor of this annual event,
at its heart, is a mission.
UWI Fete is a vital tool to raise funds for
student education. Hosted by the UWI Development
and Endowment Fund, the proceeds go towards
scholarships and bursaries for deserving students. And
while it has developed a reputation as one of the most
important events on the Carnival calendar, it has an
even deeper legacy of contributing to the growth and
development of the future leaders and builders of the
Caribbean.
