This month’s Fulbright Alumni Feature is Dr. Helen Williams-Cumberbatch who was awarded a Fulbright-LASPAU Scholarship in 2016 to pursue a Ph.D. in Higher Education and Student Affairs at Ohio University.

Alongside her doctoral research, she gained practical administrative experience working within the university’s Division of Student Affairs.

She completed her studies in 2020 and returned to Trinidad and Tobago, where she currently serves as Vice President of Student Affairs at the College of Science, Technology and Applied Arts of Trinidad and Tobago (COSTAATT). In this role, she leads initiatives to strengthen student engagement, guide policy development, and enhance student support services across the institution.

In addition to her work at COSTAATT, Dr. Williams-Cumberbatch is a member of the Public Service Commission, President of the Association of Caribbean Higher Education Administrators (ACHEA), and Education Advisor to the RESS Scholarship Programme - a programme that supports the educational aspirations of children in the Morvant community.

Helen is an experienced speaker who has engaged audiences nationwide since returning home. She also conducts workshops on presentation skills, guided by the Appreciative Education framework. An active member of the Fulbright Alumni Association of Trinidad and Tobago, she consistently contributes to annual efforts promoting the Fulbright scholarship programme, as she highly values the programme and its impact on individual and societal transformation.

30 YEARS. ONE COMMUNITY. A WORLD OF IMPACT.🇹🇹🇺🇸

On August 29, 2026, the Fulbright Alumni Association of Trinidad and Tobago (FAATT) celebrated 30 years in Trinidad and Tobago- three decades of connecting people, ideas and possibilities across borders.

For 80 years, Fulbright has been more than an academic exchange. It has been a bridge between cultures, a catalyst for understanding, and a global community united by the belief that knowledge can create a better world.

Here in Trinidad and Tobago, that spirit lives on through our alumni: in the classrooms they shape, the communities they serve, the ideas they champion and the connections they continue to build.

In commemoration of our 30th Anniversary, our members shared what the organisation means to them.

30 years of connection.
30 years of exchange.
30 years of impact.
And a legacy that continues far beyond borders.

The best chapters are still being written.

Happy 30th Anniversary, FAATT.
