Silent Auction Reminder

The University of Guam School of Education Alumni Association is holding a silent auction during the Guam IRA March 8 meeting. Proceeds will go toward the organization’s mission of effectively preparing educators and other education personnel for professional performance in diverse cultural contexts. It also serves as a connection for which SOE alumni can give back to their alma mater by sharing their talents, resources, etc. in different SOE events. It further serves as a source for developing alumni pride, spirit, and life-long commitments to the School of Education. SOE Alumni members are welcome to join and attend the general membership meeting at Saint Paul’s, which will be held following the Guam IRA meeting.
