The University of Guam Faculty Senate is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Palulap Medallion Award, one of UOG's highest honors recognizing individuals in the Guam community who exemplify academic freedom, integrity, shared governance, and principled leadership. The award, inspired by the legendary navigator Palulap, will be presented during the Fanuchånan 2026 Faculty Convocation. Nominations close on February 18, 2026.
University of Guam associate professor Kenneth Gofigan Kuper has been selected as a fellow of the Pacific Academy of Sciences (PAS).
UOG senior Monica Cosico is a true "triple threat" in the performing arts--excelling in singing, dancing, and acting. As a Theatre and Communications double major, she has built an impressive résumé of performances, training, and behind-the-scenes work. From childhood choir to university productions, Cosico continues to refine her craft and inspire others to take the stage with confidence.
