The donor wall’s background consists of the painting “Spanish Bridge” by local artist and UOG Professor, Ric Castro.

Jerry Tan, President of Tan Holdings, and George Chiu, Executive Vice President of Tan Holdings, committed $1,000,000.00 on behalf of the Tan Siu Lin Foundation to UOG’s 60th Anniversary Capital Campaign today at 10:00 a.m., in the Atrium of the Jesus and Eugenia Leon Guerrero School of Business and Public Administration Building. This donation marks the first-ever $1 million donation to UOG’s Capital Campaign. UOG President Robert A.

From left to right: UOG Endowment Foundation Board Members Jesse Leon Guerrero and Dr. Wilfred Leon Guerrero, UOG Endowment Foundation Board Chairman David John, George Chiu, Jerry Tan, President Robert Underwood, UOG Endowment Foundation Board Members Joseph F. Ada and Dr. Saied Safabakhsh, and Mark Mendiola

“Our family is very happy to be a part of UOG’s 60th Anniversary Capital Campaign,” Mr. Tan said. “It is important that UOG continues to modernize the campus and expand with additional buildings, which would allow our students and faculty members to have a better environment and higher education.”

“The donation by the Tan Siu Lin Foundation represents the latest chapter in the strong relationship between education, business success and reinvesting in the community,” President Underwood said. “Five of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Tan are graduates from the University of Guam over the course of the past three decades. They have seen fit to reinvest in the opportunities that the University represented to them for future generations.”

“The Tan Family business originated in Guam, and it’s always a great story when you have a local family able to accomplish so much from their humble beginning,” said Mr. Chiu. “The University of Guam played a major role in the education of the Tan Family and being able to contribute back to the University is a small gesture compared to the benefits that the family has received attending not just the University but growing up on Guam.”

“We are excited to support UOG as the students will become our future workforce,” Mr. Tan said.

As part of the momentous occasion, the donors and audience of faculty, staff and students were serenaded by the University Singers who performed two songs from their upcoming show called “Music on Guam 1952 – The Year UOG Began,” which will take place on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the UOG Fine Arts Theater.

Through their donation, the Tan Siu Lin Foundation will be acknowledged as a “21st-Century Visionary” in the Triton Developers program, a fundraising strategy designed to attract different levels of support which can be spread over five years of the capital campaign.

“The key to economic success is a vibrant local workforce and the University of Guam is one of the keys to help build such a workforce that will ensure that Guam remains a wonderful place to live and raise a family similar to what Dr. Tan Siu Lin did 40 years ago,” said Mr. Chiu.

“This is generosity for the sake of the future, and we are happy that they have selected us as the beneficiaries,” President Underwood said.
