The Gozo University Group held its Annual General Meeting on the 8th of May 2022 at Don Bosco Oratory, Victoria, Gozo, returning back to a physical AGM after 2 years of the meeting being held via Zoom.
The meeting, which was chaired by Mark Farrugia, commenced with an address by the President, Owen Teuma, followed by the President’s Report. The President addressed the successful revival of GUG Events post-pandemic, namely GUG’s presence at Fresher’s Week as well as Wicked Wednesdays. Moreover, the effort of the executive as a whole in preparation for the GUG Ball was acknowledged by the President, whereby despite the unfortunate cancellations as a result of a spike in cases, the effort of the executive was not left unappreciated nor unrecognized.
The individual executives then continued on to present a short speech of their individual experiences for the term of 2021/22, with mentions of the successful events of Wicked Wednesdays in tandem with Fresher’s Week, as well as the re-introduction of the Gozo Student Card which garnered the GUG several sponsors. In relation to GUG’s co-operation with other organisations, a relationship was fortified with groups such as Għawdix, KSU, KSM and Gozo NGO’s Association. This year, there was an added presence by GUG in MCAST, whereby the organisation was present for the Fresher’s Week of both the MCAST campus of Għajnsielem, Gozo and Raħal Ġdid, Malta. The organisation was also present in the clean-up organised by KSM. Additionally, GUG has also won the prize of Best Student Group of the Year in the Gala Night hosted by KSM. Furthermore, an honourable mention with regard to the effort of the executive as a whole was made in their preparation for the GUG Ball. No amendments were made to the Statute and subsequently, Teuma handed his presidency over to his Vice-President, Estelle Scicluna, who will undoubtedly be continuing in his successful footsteps with the promise of a promising term, particularly in light of the staggered easing of measures.
No elections were held with regard to the appointment of the Advisory and Vigilance Board, to which Owen Teuma, Monique Camilleri, and Daisy Grima were duly appointed. The new executive for the term of 2022/23 consists of Estelle Scicluna as President, Danica Sultana as Vice-President, Eric Grech as Administration Secretary, Matthias Mercieca as Information Secretary, Christine Sultana to remain as Events Officer, Claire Gauci as Social Media Officer, Matthias Refalo as MCAST Officer, Joseph Mario Grech as Financial Officer, Elena Curmi as Marketing Officer, Presley Clark as International Officer, Matthew Grech as Education Officer, Joseph Mercieca as Social Policy Officer and Nathalia Borg as Public Relations Officer.
On behalf of the GUG we would like to thank all those who showed an interest in forming part of our organisation and we hope to further aid students in our following executive term.
