"One UWI, One Alumni Family" 


Greetings to my Pelican Family!

Mark Burnett

vThe Global UWI Alumni Hub is an essential part of the soul of our UWI family and I’m super elated as a ‘certified Pelican’. Thank you for the memories that will last forever!

"UWI means an elite melting pot devoted to prepare the next generation to focus on passions that will positively influence lives in the universe. Having gotten the opportunity of a lifetime, I can proudly say that I was taught the power of resilience in adversities, loyalty to commitments and taking advantage of opportunities. These fundamental values have allowed me to work in immense high-pressure situations with Ericsson and other best-in-class technology operators, overseeing a range of high-risk projects/ resources for over a decade, including groundbreaking digital transformation that delivered significant benefits to customer experience in the Caribbean and Central America." Mark Burnett, Nexus - 2019/22

For me, coming back to share has been more than a nostalgia, it’s a space of emotional belonging. I’ve been sharing my insights, experiences and expertise to budding professionals across campuses, and I continue to exemplify the true pelican pride by supporting the #OneAlumniFamily!
