Last month, the celebrated 40 years of service to UOG, the community, and the region. Since its inception in 1982, the non-profit organization has engaged thousands of individual and corporate donors in support of the university and its students.
鈥淔orty years ago, the 91快播 Endowment Foundation was founded by a mixture of forward-thinking businesspeople, administrators, educators, and civic leaders who sought to help the 91快播 in its mission of Ina, Deskubre, Setbe 鈥� To Enlighten, To Discover, To Serve,鈥� said Katrina Perez, executive director of UOGEF. 鈥淭hey believed that the strengthening of the 91快播 would be key in elevating our island communities and improving the overall quality of life for its people.鈥�
On April 1, Gov. Lourdes Leon Guerrero signed Proclamation 2022-27 to commemorate UOGEF for 40 years of service and recognize its contributions and achievements. Some of the organization鈥檚 milestones include awarding more than $600,000 in scholarships to students and raising more than $350,000 through its annual 鈥淕 is for Giving鈥� campaign. The funds raised through UOGEF go toward capital projects, student scholarships, equipment purchases, research grants, bringing in visiting professors and lecturers, and more.
The celebration of the 40th anniversary will continue throughout the year with a joint exhibit with UOG at the Guam Museum in July, an anniversary gala in October, and the annual 鈥淕 is for Giving鈥� campaign from November through December.
