70 in 50

(Barbados Today) For a couple hours on Wednesday some alumni of the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus relived a brief moment of what it was like graduating from the learning institution some 10 to 50 years ago.

One by one as their names were called, the who’s who of the Caribbean went up and collected their awards for their outstanding contribution in various fields.

The 70 illustrious honourees included a range of men and women across the region ranging from judges, central bankers, former prime ministers, trade unionists, doctors, lawyers, professors, musicians, entrepreneurs and chief justices.

They were awarded in a special ceremony which formed part of the school’s 70th anniversary celebrations.

“This final list of 70 is by no means an indication that the UWI believes these persons to be the only outstanding graduates emerging from this hallowed hill. We are proud of, and value all of our graduates,” said Principal and Pro Vice-Chancellor of the UWI, Cave Hill Campus Professor Eudine Barriteau.
