Sen. Vince Borja opened a brief event at the Guam Legislature to mark the start of the University of Guam's Charter Day observance and presented a certificate recognizing the institution.
"My name is Senator Vince Borja. And today, we're here to kick off the University of Guam's Charter Day celebrations this week," Borja said, then read the text of Certificate of Recognition No. 304-38 and introduced the measure on behalf of his legislative colleagues.
The certificate, which Sen. Borja described as introduced by himself and cosponsored by the Guam Legislature, commends the university for its service and dedication to its institutional mission. Borja read committee attestations naming Speaker Frank Blas Jr., Vice Speaker Tony Atta and Legislative Secretary Sabrina Salas Matanani and closed the presentation by inviting university leadership forward to receive the recognition.
A university official addressed the chamber after the presentation to thank the Legislature. "We exist for Guam. We exist for Micronesia," the speaker said, stressing the university’s cultural values and role in regional education. A second university representative noted that the charter celebration is an opportunity to showcase the university’s work in partnership with government, private industry and nonprofits.
The presentation concluded with Sen. Borja thanking attendees and announcing photographs to mark the occasion.
Clarifying details: the transcript records the certificate as "Certificate 304-38"; the speakers referred to the university's Charter Day and anniversary but gave inconsistent ordinal numbers in the spoken record. The transcript also lists legislative officers who attested to the certificate. The event in the transcript was a recognition and photo opportunity; no formal vote or roll call on the certificate is recorded in the transcript.
The ceremony closed after the photo opportunity and the presentation concluded without further legislative action noted in the record.
