The University of the West Indies (The UWI) Open Campus Alumni recently launched\u00a0an Endowment\u00a0Fund\u00a0to provide scholarships to talented but needy students from across the Caribbean as well as grants for developmental projects for the Open Campus. The earnings from the fund will be utilised under the guidance of a Governing Board of Advisors consisting primarily of Alumni and the Open Campus Administration. \u00a0The fund will be professionally managed with transparency and periodic reporting to all stakeholders.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Luz Longsworth, Pro Vice-Chancellor, The UWI Global Affairs and Principal, The UWI Open Campus in her address entitled OC Evolution to Endowment<\/em> commended the Alumni on the establishment of the Open Campus Endowment Fund. \u201cYour commitment to launch this fund with a US$1 million target is amazing,\u201d said Dr. Longsworth. \u201cAnything your mind can conceive you can achieve,\u201d she added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Dr. Longsworth noted that, \u201cthe legacy which was being created with the launch of this Fund is creating a path, providing the ladder and pulling others over the high walls of access due to their financial situation.\u201d\u00a0 Additionally, she cautioned that there is no better legacy than to build the people of the future to ensure a better future for them, their families, their countries and this region. This Endowment Fund could not have come at a more significant moment in history,\u201d she stated before announcing her donation of US$5,000.00 for the next five (5) years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mrs. Celia Davidson-Francis, Director of Alumni Relations, endorsed the initiative and expressed gratitude to the Open Campus for taking this bold new approach to a new reality. \u201cGiving to The UWI means giving to create a better world and helping The UWI to prepare the future leaders that will guide and protect the Caribbean region for generations,\u201d said Mrs. Davidson-Francis.\u00a0She urged the Alumni family to support the Endowment Fund wholeheartedly and to give whatever they can, as often as they can, to this important cause.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Ms. Elizabeth Buchanan Hind, Executive Director of Institutional Advancement Division (IAD), in her remarks lauded the Open Campus for this initiative and pledged the IAD\u2019s commitment to this worthy cause. \u201cLong before the Open Campus was established it was evident that funding for the institution was diminishing and the University had to seek alternative sources of funding to continue its mandate to provide the professionals necessary for the sustained development of the region,\u201d she stated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She noted that she was confident of the potential of this initiative to not only be successful but also to surpass its goals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Noel Morgan, Chief Financial Officer, The UWI Open Campus noted that his Office was pleased to partner with The UWI Open Campus Alumni in the launch of The UWI Open Campus Endowment Fund. Dr. Morgan noted that since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our students had been confronted with increased hardship \u2013 loss of jobs, limited hours on the job, the death of loved ones as well as issues with Internet connectivity, which have resulted in many students having to withdraw or postpone their studies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Morgan in speaking about the fund indicated, \u201cThe Open Campus Legacy Endowment Fund like other endowment funds will permit the expenditure of income, but not the principal sums invested and where necessary, will limit the percentage or amount that can be spent in any year.\u201d This will provide a predictable stream of income which will be managed by professionals, thus guaranteeing long-term stability and perpetual support to our students,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He made an appeal for persons to partner by donating to the fund and building their legacy in the education of our students and by extension our countries and our region. \u201cHelp us to change the lives and future of our students as we provide the essential financial support they need to complete their studies and build for the future,\u201d said Dr. Morgan.\u00a0 \u201cYour legacy in education will assist in connecting the present generation with future generations of families or businesses for a better world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Among the attendees at the launch were Open Campus Patrons, Open Campus Pelican Awardees and Alumni from across the 17 countries served by the Open Campus who pledged their support of the Endowment Fund.\u00a0 These included His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams, Governor-General of Antigua & Barbuda; Dame Pearlette Louisy, former Governor-General of Saint Lucia; Her Excellency, Ambassador Missouri Sherman-Peters, Caribbean Community Ambassador and Permanent Observer to the United Nations; Representatives of His Excellency Sir S.W. Tapley Seaton, Governor-General of Saint Kitts & Nevis; Ms. Charisse Gumbs and Major Wilkin, Mrs. Dancia Penn, Q.C. from the British Virgin Islands and Dr. Joy Sue from Barbados.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her Excellency Ambassador A. Missouri Sherman-Peter endorsed the launch on behalf of all alumni.\u00a0 Ambassador Sherman-Peter who serves as a UWI Patron and President of the UWI AA Bahamas Chapter noted that the Endowment Fund was especially opportune since it came at a time when good strategies are desperately needed and the achievement of their objectives, critical.\u00a0\u201cThe Covid-19 Pandemic came upon our region, as it did our world, like an epic hurricane of historical proportions \u2013 its exact path, magnitude and consequences completely unpredictable. We walked on, and endured, a winding road of despair, as we pushed forward towards the progress we are seeing today,\u201d stated Ambassador Sherman-Peters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ambassador Sherman-Peters further noted that the \u201cCOVID pandemic and its consequences, have also brought opportunities and opened the doors to positively influence the lives of others, many by extending practical help through giving, to provide UWI students the chance to continue and complete their studies.\u201d Additionally, it taught lessons and gave us experience about being ready to navigate unexpected challenges both now, and in the future. Importantly, it taught us the invaluable lesson of devising strategies and crafting mechanisms to meet the challenge of future pandemics and other challenges. So we launch the Endowment Legacy Fund, hope, help, and a lifeline to many in obtaining an invaluable UWI Education,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ambassador Sherman-Peters endorsed the fund by making a monthly pledge and in her capacity as President of The UWI AA Bahamas Chapter, stated that the Chapter will also be donating US$2,000.00 initially.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sandra Griffith-Carrington, Open Campus Alumni Officer, who pioneered the initiative led by example by adding her own pledge for the next seven\u00a0 years while offering thanks to all who gave her support over the years by giving of their time and talent.\u00a0 \u201cAcutely aware of the difficulties faced by our students, exacerbated by the current pandemic, I felt that it was now prudent to add the other \u201ct\u201d \u2013 treasure, so that many deserving talented and needy students could benefit from the Endowment Fund to complete their degrees,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She urged corporate entities and governments who benefit from having UWI graduates in their employ and all alumni of the Open Campus to see the Endowment Fund as a legacy and to give \u2013 noting that no gift was too small \u2013 so that those who come behind would find us FAITHFUL.<\/p>\n
