The 54th Student Government Association sponsored the Thanksgiving Event Charter Recognition at the University of Guam Calvo Fieldhouse on Nov. 25.

“The event was a combination of the charter recognition and thanksgiving luncheon,” said Pollar Ngiralulk, current senator of SGA.

Senior Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Anita Borja Enriquez was the keynote speaker of this event and gave an inspirational talk about the ideas of leadership.

This event recognized the 49 student organizations of the current academic year registered with the student life office.

Of the 49, there were several new chartered student organizations that were also acknowledged such as Reusing Injustice and Supporting Equality or R.I.S.E. and the UOG Lambda Pi Eta – Alpha Beta Eta Chapter to name a few.

These student organizations were given certificates of recognition by SGA Vice-President Samantha David and Interim UOG EMSS Dean Michael Gunn.

“We also recognized the top 15 organizations from last year based on the points system. The top 15 were given banners (which were decorated onstage),” said Ngiralulk.

Following the recognition ceremony, students were treated for a luncheon the day before the thanksgiving break.

There were games and entertainment coordinated by the student government. The winners of the essay contest were also presented.
