Dear Friends of UWI,
It was a remarkable gathering of almost 450 guests at the 14 th annual UWI Toronto Benefit Awards on
April 29 th . The event was a resounding success and given the rave reviews received from the patrons,
guests, sponsors, volunteers, and media we can all take pride in this achievement. Thank you for joining
us and for also sharing in the historic occasion of celebrating The University’s 75 th Anniversary and our
esteemed honourees, all while raising funds for students at UWI in dire financial need.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to provide affordable education for those who are marginalized and find it difficult to gain degrees in their chosen disciplines. Despite the fact that UWI continues to face numerous challenges because of the reduction in funds provided by the governments of the territories we serve, inflation and economies that are still reeling from the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic, it is a cause worth fighting for.
Thanks to your support, numerous students who have been accepted to The University for the upcoming year and who, at this time, are unsure how they will afford their tuition, are about to inherit a lifeline.
We will be in touch soon with regards to the scheduled date for the 15 th Annual UWI Toronto Benefit Awards and I look forward with great anticipation in seeing you there.
Best Regards,
Hilary Beckles, Vice Chancellor
Donette Chin-Loy Chang, Co-Patron
