For Linda Juliana Soto, Industrial Engineering student, “this was a great year at Semana Universitaria. In addition to integrating the activities of U24Fest and having an interesting agenda, I also felt a very strong union from the whole community. All the spaces lent themselves to enjoy, encourage, share, but above all to show the strong talent that we have at our headquarters”.
