(Kaieteur News) – The University of Guyana (UG) on Friday announced that Professor Paloma Mohamed-Martin’s seven-year tenure as Vice-Chancellor came to an end on July 31, 2026, prompting the University’s Council to install a Transitional Management Team to keep the institution running smoothly while a permanent successor is chosen.

Chancellor and Chair of Council Sir Ronald Sanders thanked Professor Mohamed-Martin for her time in the role, saying the Council “thanks Professor Mohamed-Martin for her seven years of stewardship of the University of Guyana and wishes her every success in her future endeavours.”

To maintain continuity across the university’s academic, administrative and financial operations, the Council has appointed a three-person team to oversee daily affairs until a new Vice-Chancellor takes office.
