History

Following the tragic murder of George Floyd in 2020, the University of Guam joined the critical conversations taking place across the nation calling for a new awareness to institutional racism and the unequal treatment of communities of color in the United States.

With the development of the Inadahi yan Inagofli'e' Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council as well as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Center, located in the Student Center, the University aims to ensure that the UOG campus is place where all people feel safe and welcome and to advance the Micronesian island values of compassion, respect, and community.

The Student Government Association has also taken action to promote diversity with an annual Tritons Out Loud celebration, which has featured a runway show celebrating culture and individuality and guest speakers on how to overcome challenges related to equality and self-expression.
