Congratulations to PIBBA Guam Member, Dr. Teo Cruz, for winning the UOG Distinguished Alumni Award
Congratulations to PIBBA Guam Member, Dr. Teofila "Teo" Cruz, for winning the UOG Distinguished Alumni Award! The UOG Distinguished Alumni Awards Ceremony held November 5, 2020 via Zoom was memorable! Due to COVID-19 and PCOR1 restrictions, the event was held online and brought together over 200 participants to reconnect with fellow UOG alumni and honor 6 Distinguished UOG Alumni. Honorable guests in attendance included Lt. Gov. Joshua Tenorio, Congressman Michael San Nicolas, and Sen. Amanda Shelton. JEJ Vinson, a finalist on NBC's "The Voice" and our very own UOG Latte Tones sang for the special event. The late Dr. Suzanne Bells was also remembered during the ceremony.
The Last Mile Scholarship was further announced during the event. It launched in October to coincide with the reunion. It is a competitive scholarship awarded to students who are within 30 credits of completing their first bachelor's degree and in need of financial assistance. More than $14,000 were raised through the support of corporate sponsors and UOG alumni.
