The Annual General Meeting of the Gozo University Group was held on Sunday at the Ministry for Gozo for the University of Malta.

Amendments to the current statute were proposed and approved and the new executive was elected. A roundup of the past year’s events was also made.

The statute’s amendments also led to the establishment of a new role, the Mcast Representative, which has been created “to suit the needs of the Mcast Gozitan students,” the GUG said.

The organisation explained that, “this decision was made since as a Gozitan group, we felt that we needed to use our influence to assist others. However, due to the lack of connections between us and the Mcast administration board, this was a difficult task.” With this new role, this hurdle could be easily tackled, it said.

The statute was amended through a unanimous vote, leading to the AGM’s change in the appendix with the new GUG logo.

The AGM was chaired by Maria Dimech who has now advanced as the new official GUG Lawyer.

The previous executive members reported on their respective roles and events carried out throughout the year – which they said were challenging but successful events.

The President, Rachel Galea, spoke about the feats accomplished as a group in the last year and the importance of communication and group work which led to such “prosperous” events.

Galea’s time as President of the GUG organisation has concluded, however taking her place is Renée Formosa, who has worked side-by-side with Galea as Vice President.

Formosa said that she has “gained confidence and experience for this role and aims to lead the GUG with great motivation.”

Christoph Caruana, Maria Azzopardi, Rachel Galea were appointed positions on the Vigilance Board.

The organisation said that since there were no candidates contesting for the same position within the executive, no elections were needed.

The GUG’s new executive is: Renée Formosa as President, Charlene Scerri as Vice-President, Samuel Buttigieg as General Secretary, Mark Farrugia as Information Secretary, Chris Mercieca as Events Officer, Lorie-Emm Spiteri as Education Officer, Carlos Cini as Public Relations Officer, Joseph Mercieca as Social Policy Officer, Elaine Haber as Social Media Officer, Estelle Scicluna as Financial Officer, Sean Grech as Marketing Officer, Oleg Grech as International Officer, and Owen Teuma as Mcast Representative.
