The Gozo University Group recently held its Annual General Meeting, which this year due to the current situation with Covid-19, was held via a zoom meeting, chaired by Rachel Galea.

During this meeting, together with the election of the new executive team, new amendments to the current statute were put forward.

The previous Executive team gave a summary of their respective roles and gave an account of the events carried out throughout the year.

Certain events had to be cancelled during the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the team explained that the events which had taken place till March were still successful, with the most outstanding one being The GUG Annual Christmas Ball.

Rénee Formosa, former President emphasised on the importance of teamwork and unity; “two important assets which will help in our mission to further help Gozitan tertiary students,” she said.

Formosa’s time as President has come to an end and Mark Farrugia, who has worked closely with her for the past years will be replacing her in the position.

The GUG said that “Mark has taken on this role with great determination, aiming at leading GUG with a strong impulse.”

The statute was amended through a unanimous vote among the present voters which led to the AGM’s change of date between the 31st of March and the 1st of May.

Rénee Formosa, Charlene Scerri and Elaine Haber were appointed positions on the Vigilance Board. Since no other candidates were contesting for these positions within the executive, no elections were needed.

The GUG’s new executive is: Mark Farrugia as President, Samuel Buttigieg as Vice-President, Nicole Debrincat as General Secretary, Oleg Grech as Information Secretary, Chris Mercieca as Events Officer, Elisa Cordina as Education Officer, Monique Camilleri as Public Relations Officer, Danica Sultana as Social Policy Officer, Rebecca Grech as Social Media Officer, Estelle Scicluna as Financial Officer, Christine Sultana as Marketing Officer, Yanica Cini as International Officer, and Owen Teuma as Mcast Representative.
