GET TO KNOW YOUR SLATE: Evening Vice-President - Alette Liz Williams

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” – Barack Obama



Alette Liz Williams is a 4th year Mass Communication student who hails from Princes Town. She transferred from IT (Operating Systems Management) because she believes that people are her passion.  She has always been grounded in customer service and believes in serving and service, having been in the profession of customer service for just about 8 years. Alette is currently employed in the Judiciary as a Court Customer Service Representative, attached to the Court Protocol and Information Unit.

Alette is a passionate, multifaceted individual. A singer and actress, she is a strong advocate for the Arts. She has traveled to Cuba for the Festival of Fire in 2011, where Trinidad and Tobago was honored, and to Suriname for Carifesta with National Dance Association. She is currently the PRO for both the National Dance Association of Trinidad & Tobago and also for the Iere Theatre Productions Ltd. Iere Theatre Productions is a young and vibrant group that focuses on local history and has done such works like Eric the Musical, The Reenactment of Indian Arrival Day on Nelson Island, Temple in the Sea and the now highly acclaimed theatre production, A Brighter Sun.

Alette has also been involved in The Trinidad and Tobago Youth Council, the Inter School Christian Fellowship (ISCF). She was also a part of the victorious COSTAATT South Campus Debate Team last year, serving not just as an active participant, but as the Opening Speaker. She also works for the Forward Ever Foundation: an organization which provides free workshops to young people between the ages of 10 and 25 who are interested in making a change in the film industry locally.


Alette believes that professionalism is a must, problem solving is a mandate and that communication is key, which is echoed in her approachable, lovable, hard-working nature. She may have a hefty plate but she is a committed individual who seeks greatness for herself and for Trinidadians as a whole.

"I am a firm believer that the very essence of bringing a vision into reality means that a true leader must be willing to serve his/her fellow man. As the Evening Vice President, it is simply my intention to enable my fellow students to have a fair, balanced and unbiased representation in an executive capacity. I will strive to always work with my council to address the concerns and needs of those who have entrusted us with such an honourable mandate. With a background in customer service and communications, I believe that the qualities gained will serve to be an asset, both to the council I am a part of and for the student population. We must always strive to be the change we want to see. I believe in my competent and dynamic team and I believe in our vision, but most of all, I believe that we can and will humbly and effectively serve our student body to the best of our ability." -- Alette Liz Williams
