The UWI family celebrated its 70th anniversary milestone with a year-long calendar of events designed to both reflect on its 70 year-old legacy of service and leadership throughout the Caribbean, as well as project the next phase for the region and the institution created to serve the needs of the region. The anniversary year featured a vibrant range of academic gatherings, fora and conferences, alumni recognition ceremonies, receptions and galas, and special editorial supplements spread across the Caribbean and its diaspora.
