The University of Guam named the winners of its 2021 Distinguished Alumni Awards during a ceremony on March 19 at the Hyatt Regency Guam. One award was given to an individual from each of the university’s schools and colleges, and another was given to an alum who is serving in the military.

The winners are selected based on professional accomplishments in their field, civic and university involvement, character and integrity, and achievements of local, national, or international significance. Among the attendees at the ceremony were UOG leadership and local dignitaries — including Gov. Lourdes Leon Guerrero, Lt. Gov. Joshua Tenorio, Speaker Therese Terlaje, and Sen. Amanda Shelton.
