ABOUT

The UOG Cares initiative began during the Fanuchånan 2020 semester as part of the University of Guam’s response to the needs of our students.

Through this initiative, we remain committed to providing our students with the support they need to achieve their academic goals. UOG cares provides resources and solutions in the areas of finances, academics, and health & wellness.
