Established in 2022, during the 70th anniversary of the founding of the University of Guam, the President’s Medal (Milåyan Presidenten) recognizes individuals who demonstrate the spirit of the mission of the University of Guam—Ina, Deskubre, Setbe—by way of significant service to the communities in which they live.

President’s Medals are a means to recognize service and showcase the role service has in creating vibrant communities in Guam, the rest of Micronesia, and beyond. Service can take many forms:  sharing one’s expertise, indigenous knowledge, organizational skills, outreach abilities, outstanding personal or professional endeavors that complement the University’s mission, or other ways individuals make positive impacts through service.

Candidates must be viewed by the university community as individuals who have made significant accomplishments. Nominees should be those individuals whose public recognition brings honor to the University.
