The University of Guam Division of Humanities at the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the Chamorro Studies Program cordially invite the community to Puengen Minagof Nochebuena, an evening of Chamorro cultural festivities connected to the holiday season. The celebration will take place on Friday, December 4, 2015 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building (HSS) Atrium.

The evening will include dancing, singing, the praying of a nobena and plenty of fina’mames (sweets). CHamoru language students will be making traditional Chamorro Christmas desserts such as boñelos dågu, but also offering a wide variety of boñelos options, including boñelos mangga, boñelos lemmai, boñelos aga’ and others. The highlight of the evening will be an exhibit of varieties of modan CHamoru or Chamorro fashion by students of the CHamoru language classes at UOG. Other UOG language classes will display fashion from their cultures.

Please join the students on this evening and help them show off their CHamoru language skills and cultural knowledge, and to usher in the 2015 holiday season.
