A BIT OF HISTORY:
UWI STAT was developed in 2005 by Celia Davidson Francis, the first Director of Alumni Relations for The UWI, with the blessiong of the then UWI Vice Chancellor, Professor E. Nigel Harris. It was officially launched on January 23, 2006 on the 3 campuses which existed at the time - Cave Hill, Mona and St. Augustine. The Director is Regional Coordinator of the Corps and is located in the Institutional Advancement Division (UWI Regional Headquarters). The Campus Alumni Officers guide and facilitate their respective UWI STAT Corps as they execute their annual mandates and continue to innovate and excel. The UWI STAT Corps has been recognised as a Leadership Incubator with Alumni Ambassadors becoming Commonwealth Scholars, Rhodes Scholars, Queen's Young Leaders, Awardees of Governors General and Prime Ministers, Chevening Scholars and more - and many going on to hold leadership positions in the private and public sectors and government of their Caribbean nations.
OPEN CAMPUS: Subsequent to the approval of the formation of the Open Campus by The UWI Council in April 2007, it was formally launched on July 4, 2008 at the Council of the Caribbean Heads of Government annual meeting in Antigua & Barbuda. The first ever Cohort of UWI STATOpen Campus Ambassadors was formed in 2011 as follows: Mr. Walter Berkeley – St. Lucia; Ms. Shadae Bernard – Jamaica; Mrs. Sandra Colthirst – Jamaica; Ms. Nadia Riviere – Dominica and Ms. Janeel King - St. Vincent & the Grenadines. As the Student Guild President is an ex-oficio UWI STAT Ambassador, Mr. Peter Dunn (Jamaica) and Mrs. Keneisha Thom-Selvon (Trinidad & Tobago) also became OC UWI STAT Ambassadors.
