The University of the West Indies Alumni Association UWIAA was established under the University Royal Charter, the document which established the UWI as a corporate entity. The UWIAA (Trinidad and Tobago Chapter) i.e. UWIAATT is the representative body of the estimated more than 40,000 UWI Alumni resident in Trinidad and Tobago.

The Trinidad and Tobago Chapter was re-activated in November 1988 and has since then cultivated several signature activities and events that have typified its motto "We give something back to the UWI"

• Access to the UWI swimming pool, tennis courts, gym and associated facilities
