During which I have seen and experienced how much the previous executives have worked on The Third eye and what The Third Eye meant to them. I can’t help but be moved by such dedication and effort put into this passion project and how each one of them has put part of their soul into it.

I feel honored and optimistic about being given the chance and trust by the previous executives to carry on this part of their student life and we can’t wait to put our touch and soul into it. We will not shy away from continuing building on what they have already built using our own unique personalities and touch. So keep your Third Eye open for us!”

I am humbled to have been chosen to lead JEF Malta as President for this term. The past year and a half have been a huge challenge for all student organisations, but despite everything, we at JEF Malta managed to adapt our work to the new reality we faced. I look forward to lead such a fantastic team of talented individuals towards relaunching our projects, events and activities for this year. We want to especially focus on revitalising the social and political debate by bringing young people and policymakers together, especially as we emerge from the pandemic. Most of all though, JEF Malta remains committed to its main aim of working towards a more united and democratic Europe.

Andrew Micallef, JEF Malta President

Even though this past year proved to be challenging due to the pandemic, JEF Malta was still able to further the cause of European integration and federalism through its hard-working executive. I wish the best of luck to the newly elected executive, I am sure they will take JEF Malta to a whole new level and make themselves and past alumni very proud.

During the past year, although times were challenging and being a student organisation during a pandemic had its challenges, I’m proud of what ESA was able to accomplish and the work it has done to further the cause of environmental management and awareness.

USPA has been one of the most important elements in my time at the university. It gave me confidence, a sense of belonging, wonderful friends for life, skills and knowledge about the arts sector, as well as Maltese culture. And most importantly, it became a source of great pride and thankfulness.

I had the honour to lead two great, hard-working teams. And I am so proud of what we’ve achieved and the USPA community we were trusted to represent. I wish all the best to the next Executive Board – I can’t wait to see where USPA goes next!
