Peter Foster, a teacher and researcher in psychology at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji, sent an e-mail: "I was delighted to come across The Gozo Observer from the University of Malta. It is one of the most interesting university magazines I have seen. It reflects important, current issues in a visually appealing way and makes these available to people like me - half a world away."
