“This year has been a particularly tough year for all of us. 2020 has made us fear one disease above all, forgetting that taking care of our health takes more than socially distancing and wearing masks. So this Movember, my mask will serve a second, equally important task – a cradle to a stache engineered for the sole purpose of reminding me to take better care of my mental health and keep an eye out for those close to me who may be struggling.”

- Prof. Ing. Glenn Cassar, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Engineering

In order to raise more awareness on men’s health throughout the month of November, the Marketing, Communications & Alumni Office has collaborated with a number of deans from across the Faculties, Institutes and Centres at the University of Malta.

Each of the participants joined the Movember challenge, grew a moustache, had their photo taken, and are hereby sharing a few words of reflection upon this important month.  

This is the first instalment of the On your mark, get set, MO! Campaign by the Marketing, Communications and Alumni Office.
