· 1) GOVERNOR HONORS UOG’S 60-YEAR MISSION OF HIGHER EDUCATION
·
· Governor
Eddie Baza Calvo is leading the community in the celebration of the
University of Guam’s 60 years of paving the way for higher learning in
the western Pacific region. “Education is our first line of defense
against poverty. From giving students the opportunity for rewarding
careers to the research that provides direction to make our community
stronger, UOG and the Tritons are helping to set the pace for a stronger
future,” Governor Calvo said. “It’s the premier university in the
region and it’s the foundation of knowledge for so many of the leaders
and professionals who make Guam what it is today.” UOG President Dr.
Robert Underwood, the Board of Regents, administration, faculty, staff
and students joined Governor Calvo at Adelup to proclaim March 13, 2012
in honor of the institution’s 44th Charter Day and Charter Week
Ceremonies set for March 11 through 17, 2012.
We
look forward to seeing you at Charter Day! The committee has been
working hard to develop an exciting offering of activities and displays.

7) ALUMNI OUTREACH THROUGH FACEBOOK – WE NEED YOUR HELP!
· I
have created the official University of Guam Alumni Facebook page.
There are many exciting activities in store for you this year as we
celebrate the University's 60th Anniversary! The Facebook page is just
one of the methods the Office of Alumni Affairs will use to keep you
informed. To best address the objectives of this group, only UOG alumni
are permitted to be part of it and interact with other members. We need
this group to grow, so please feel free to send invitations to your
fellow alum to join this group. But, please be aware that their
inclusion is subject to verification.
· To access the alumni group page, click the link below or cut and paste it. You must have a facebook account to log on.
· http://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/groups/universityofguamalumni/363700670322882/?notif_t=like
In
addition, you’re receiving this email because you either signed up for
membership to the UOG Alumni Association or updated your contact
information with the University. Over time, email accounts may get
deleted or addresses change so some of your fellow alum are not
receiving the latest campus-related news which may benefit them. I
respect everyone’s privacy so I’m not asking you to send me email
addresses. I do humbly ask, however, that if you know alum who don’t
seem to be aware of these updates, please forward this email to them. If
they contact me and give me their permission, I will gladly include
them in our database so that they may start receiving updates. Should
anyone opt out from receiving these emails I will surely honor their
request as well.
