It was last Fall that UOG first launched our Chamorro Studies program. A Major/Minor degree program for undergraduates who want to deepen their knowledge about the language, culture and history of the Chamorro people. It has been an amazing year. We have signed up more than 20 majors. We have held dozens of events, on several occasions filling the CLASS Lecture Hall to capacity. We have organized exciting projects from the Massacre at Atate, to the Master Apprentice Learning Program to the Chamorro Experience gi Fino' Chamorro speaker series.  The second year for the program has already started and I am looking forward to our first graduates finishing up next semester. We've already had several minors that have finished or will finish this semester. One minor in particular is Ruzelle Amparo, a Communications Major who will be graduating this semester. I just finished submitting some letters of rec for her to graduate schools. Ruzelle was in my CHamoru Culture class last year
