This Thursday marked the start of the National Meeting of Graduate Representatives to the Higher University Councils at the Industrial University of Santander (UIS).
The event will address issues of relevance to public higher education in Colombia and thus strengthen the role of graduates at the national level.
This activity is led by engineer Mario Betancurt Pinzón, representative of the Graduates before the UIS Higher Council, who invited his colleagues from all over the country.
On Thursday, each visitor gave a presentation and toured the central campus, including the Listening Center, the Library, and the Natural History Museum. They also visited the facilities of the Scientific Complex for Health and Life Sciences Research.
On Friday, the meeting will address topics such as the current state of graduate representation in our universities, with the participation of Raíssa João, co-CEO of Vaki, who will lead the discussion “The future is community-funded.”
In turn, a working group will be held to create the National Network of Graduate Representatives to the Higher University Councils, and the event will conclude with the panel “The CESU and the importance of graduate participation,” led by UIS professor Luis Orlando Aguirre, recognized for his extensive experience and service in these areas.
The activities will take place in the multifunctional room of Bienestar PRO.
