University of Guam was founded in 1952 as a two-year teacher-training school known as the Territorial College of Guam, established by Governor Carlton Skinner[3] [4] In 1960, the college moved to the present campus in the central district of Mangilao. In 1965, the college was accredited as a four-year, degree granting institution. By 1968, enrollment had reached 1,800 students while staff and faculty totaled more than 130. It was designated as a land grant institution by the United States Congress in 1972.[5] Throughout the 1970s Women's rights advocate and pioneer Maryly Van Leer Peck founded the Community Career College which became Guam Community College.[6] She would later create the Business and Applied Technology programs, among others.[7] She was also a chairman on its board.[8]
