Your chance to give today: UWI Open Campus Build-Back-Better-a-thon - Fellow Pelicans, please join C. Lloyd Stanford in supporting the “Build-Back-Better-a-thon”, of the UWI Open Campus. The UWI Open Campus sites damaged by the catastrophic hurricanes Irma and Maria are STILL in need of assistance! Funds raised will help to build back the Sites that were affected by the devastation of hurricanes in 2017 as well as assist students who are experiencing hardships as a result of their losses. No amount is too small. To give - go to www.uwi.edu/giving (and put Build-Back-Better-a-thon in designation box).

I invite your support of this UWI Global Giving initiative.

As we publish this issue - our brothers and sisters in The Bahamas have just experienced the ravages of Hurricane Dorian - you will see from the article above that the University is going to assist. I encourage you to assist individually as well; and will share any further information on how best to do this via our UWIAA Chapters and Campus Alumni Officers.
