The University of Guam named the winners of its prestigious Distinguished Alumni Awards during its virtual All-Class Alumni Reunion hosted last Nov. 5, 2020.<\/p>\n

More than 200 people attended the virtual event, including Lt. Gov. Joshua Tenorio, Delegate Michael San Nicolas, and Sen. Amanda Shelton. JEJ Vinson, a finalist on NBC\u2019s \u201cThe Voice\u201d provided a performance for the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so proud of the accomplishments of our Distinguished Alumni winners, and we are excited that members of the Triton family from different parts of the globe were a part of the celebration,\u201d said Norman Analista, director of development, alumni affairs, and foundation relations.<\/p>\n

The scholarship is a competitive scholarship awarded to students who are within 30 credits of completing their first bachelor\u2019s degree and who are in financial need. More than $14,000 were raised through the support of corporate donors and alumni.<\/p>\n
