Remembering Dr. Mark Lander

This scholarship was established in honor of Dr. Mark Lander who was a faculty member of the Water and Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific, University of Guam, from 1999 to 2022. His cutting-edge research contributed significantly to world-wide understanding of western Pacific weather phenomena and their roles in global weather systems. His vast knowledge in these areas placed him in high demand at professional conferences and workshops around the world. This scholarship will be awarded to one graduate student from the University of Guam’s Master of Science in Environmental Science program whose thesis results are worthy of presentation at a professional conference or publication in the peer-reviewed professional literature, and whose academic performance and personal character exemplify the virtues that Dr. Lander stood for, most especially a commitment to doing honest and reliable science based on sound data and forthright interpretations of it.

Island Wisdom: Canoe House Restoration

The University of Guam sees that our region’s success is built by people with the knowledge and drive to make a difference.  We also understand that our sustainability and progress must be based in the knowledge that has been shared by our ancestors for generations.  Island Wisdom sits at the center of these two ideas.  Island Wisdom is our way of life and our path forward.

In the 2022-2023 academic year, UOG created an apprenticeship program to impart island wisdom in the building of a canoe house.  This canoe house would be a key structure in the further preservation of island wisdom and traditional seafaring.

On May 24th, Typhoon Mawar made landfall as a Category 4 storm on the northern part of Guam, causing millions of dollars of damage to utilities and public buildings.  Unfortunately, the canoe house was also severely damaged.  Please donate here to help restore the UOG Island Wisdom: Canoe House.

The UOG Endowment Foundation (UOGEF) is pleased to announce that it has been designated as one of the drop-off locations for this year’s U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.  This is a wonderful campaign that aims to bring joy to children (ages 0-17) during the holiday season.  In the previous year, over 6,000 toys were collected and allocated to children on Guam.

Donations for the Toys for Tots program will be accepted at the UOGEF location until December 10, 2022.  The UOGEF office is conveniently located at 303 University Drive, House #10 Dean Circle, Mangilao, GU.
