During this particularly challenging year, we would like to extend special recognition to alumni worldwide who rose to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and made a huge impact on their communities. There are countless examples of alumni giving their time and expertise; whether working overtime in health services, using technology to support vulnerable groups, or creating a lifeline for local businesses and retailers. We are so proud of their resilience and commitment, despite personal disappointments. The Class of ’20 graduated from UWCSEA in a virtual ceremony and many faced disruptions to their courses of study or internships. Alumni messages of support and encouragement were greatly appreciated. Thank you to the alumni who so generously gave their time to participate in UWCSEA’s Virtual Alumni Fair, with over 49 online sessions and to those who participated in Zoom Reunions, the new norm. We are united! *Including pledges made in 2019/2020 and to be paid in future years
