The USC Alumni Association, Home Base, located in Trinidad, is the Mother Association which goes as far back to the 1940’s when all Chapters, internationally and Caribbean, fell under its guidance. Reading the College Tidings of October 1949 one sees the caption “CTC Alumni Association conducts weekend services”. The January-February issue and the July 1950 issues referred to general annual meetings of the “CTC Alumni Association” that were called on the campus. The January-February 1950 issue stated that on December 4, 1949, “Officers of the association for 1950 were elected and the Class of 1949 was the last academic class to receive membership in the association” for that year.

With the formation of the umbrella Alumni Association, North America, the Chapters in the United States and Canada coordinate with each other, and are closely knitted with the aim of pooling their energies to assist their alma mater. England and the island Chapters continue under the guidance of the Alumni Association, Home Base.

Both Associations encourage the formation of Chapters to foster a spirit of loyalty to their alma mater, and to co-ordinate project giving. They also maintain a communication link with the University Administration and the Office of Alumni Relations.

The Alumni Association Office is on the University campus, and is located on the ground floor of the La Realista building pictured above. (Pic of La Realista) So far, Chapters are functioning in Alabama, Atlanta, California, Canada, Central Florida, South Florida, Michigan, New England, New Jersey, New York, Washington D.C. and Motor City. Chapters in the Caribbean are located in Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia, and St. Croix. There is interest for new Caribbean Chapters to be established in Grenada, Guyana, Dominica, Martinique and Guadeloupe, St. Kitts and Nevis, Tobago and other islands, as well as reviving the Chapter in St. Vincent.
