In commencement of the Quality Assurance Week, the AccreditationCouncil of Trinidad and Tobago (ACTT) held its Interfaith Service at USC’s New Building Auditorium on November 1, 2009.

Twenty participants from the University of the Southern Caribbean left Trinidad on October 15 for the island of Antigua to complete a project: constructing a house for a single parent family of five, displaced for fourteen years.

With hype, enthusiasm and a co-operative spirit, students of territorial clubs came together to construct tents and booths, which served as miniature centres for cultural display during International Students' Week.

Campus Health Ministries continued its "Health Promotion Month - October 2009" with its Walkathon for the students of the University of the Southern Caribbean on October 11. USCians from all faculties and departments turned out in their colours and numbers to affirm their belief that health is indeed, wealth.

Every year Student Development along with students of USC embark on a country wide tour of Trinidad. This year 2009 was no different. The "Know Tour Country Tour" servers as a form of socialization among students and peers outside the class room, while at the same time providing knowledge to both national and international students. Allowing them to get to know and see Trinidad in ways they would have never imagine.

Under the theme “Gender and Eye Health - Equal Access to Care” over 100 faculty, staff and students from the University of the Southern Caribbean and countless volunteers participated in the 5th Annual Walk for Sight. This year’s walk consisted of men and women representing a variety of organizations in Trinidad and Tobago.

The USC church therefore, in keeping with a yearly tradition, expressed appreciation for the Trinidad and Tobago Protective Services of over ten thousand men and women through an unforgettable Sabbath Day Service. Police and fire service members were also at the service.

“Freshman Appreciation” as the annual, ritualistic procedure is now called, was the uproarious awakening that thundered through the sleeping Maracas valley on Monday morning at precisely 4:00am. A mixed mob of some 81 Alumni, Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores led by Student Activities Coordinator, Joel LeGendre, entered the Cedar and Linda Austin Residence Halls beating drums, pots, chairs, pans and any other instrument that yielded a earsplitting sound.
