How to be involved and engaged in the UK ?
Although far from the Caribbean, UWI alumni in the United Kingdom are proud to coalesce around and offer support to the the British Foundation for The University of the West Indies (BFUWI).
The BFUWI is a registered UK Charity and alumni are encouraged to help build the Foundation to assist with student scholarships and bursaries. UK Alumni are encouraged to support BFUWI events and to engage with the UWIAA UK Contact Dr. Rica Kelly, who acts as our official Alumni Liaison in there. She hopes that UWI alumni will reach out to her so that they can receive the latest news from across the 5 UWI campuses and also hear about fellow alumni and their accomplishments and innovations, through the UWI Nexus.
