Indications of interest in restarting the Guild began to surface after the Press Conference held to launch the 50th Anniversary of the UWI on December 11, 1998. By the time of the Vice-Chancellor’s arrival in Grenada on March 4th, 1998, a group of graduates had come together, and styled themselves "The Interim Committee for the Re-launch of the Guild".
The Interim Committee arranged for the re-launch of the Guild on May 14th, 1998. Dr. the Hon. Kenny Anthony, Prime Minister of St Lucia, graciously consented to give the feature address. The event was very well attended, and culminated in the election of officers.
The Guild has since been extremely active. Since the re-launch, they have staged a highly successful Carnival Fête, a games evening and a televised "State of the Nation Debate" featuring speakers from Grenada’s six political parties. The debate received much acclaim as a very worthy effort towards improving Democracy and Governance. A Gala Dinner and Ball was held on New Years Eve, 1998, with the Vice-Chancellor, Professor the Hon. Rex Nettleford as the after dinner speaker.
