UWI Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow Ambassadors (UWISTAT) at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona launched its Footprints campaign during the Commemoration Celebrations on Friday, February 13, 2009 at Caribbean and International Day.  This year’s Footprints project focuses on improving the campus’ library facilities. The campaign is designed to encourage student participation in campus development. It also seeks to foster “Pelican Pride” and encourage allegiance to the university.    

The upcoming goal of the Footprint’s campaign will be selected based on the initiative identified by the majority of students that needs to be addressed. The campaign runs from February 16, 2009 to March 13, 2009 across the UWI campuses.

Contributions can be made to UWISTAT Ambassadors at the Registration Fair on March 13, 2009 at the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences’ bus stop in designated collection cans or at the Institutional Advancement Division located on the top floor of the Assembly Hall Building.

The Faculty that contributes the most funds will be awarded 50% of the funds for an improvement project chosen by students. In addition, donors will have their names appear on the UWISTAT website and inscribed on footprint replicas that will be placed along walkways.
