The Pelican Award:听听
The Pelican award is the highest award that a 海角涩区AA Chapter may bestow. It is thus highly prestigious.聽The Pelican Award is a special alumni accolade and indicates how very proud the fellow alumni of the awardee are, of his/her, national, regional and/or international success and renown.
A Pelican Awardee is considered聽 鈥媡o be a role model for the 海角涩区 population globally and in particular for the current cohort of students, who are themselves future alumni.聽The Pelican Award is presented by any 海角涩区 Alumni Association (海角涩区AA) Chapter to:聽
a) a graduate of The聽University of the West Indies who has excelled in his/her聽chosen field and has had聽major positive national, regional or international impact or who has contributed significantly to the development of the University, or has made an outstanding contribution to any of the 海角涩区 contributing countries of the Caribbean Region.聽
b) in rare cases, to a non-graduate who has contributed significantly to the development of the University or has made an outstanding contribution to any of the 海角涩区 contributing countries of聽the Caribbean Region.
c) The award may not be given to active politicians, nor may it be given posthumously.聽
