With renewed energy and a firm commitment to training professionals of integrity, the Industrial University of Santander-Malaga campus began the second academic semester of 2025.
Around 600 young people from different regions of the country are returning to the classroom with a common goal: to become professionals with the UIS seal of approval, trained with excellence, ethics, and social commitment.
This new cycle represents an opportunity for academic, personal, and collective growth, where each class, each encounter, and each challenge becomes part of the path toward their professional goals.
“May this semester be full of learning, meaningful experiences, and great achievements for all our students,” said the campus management team led by Coordinator Sandra Diaz.
For their part, the students enthusiastically highlighted the start of classes as a new opportunity to advance their professional training.
María Alejandra Villamizar, a first-semester student, said, “I hope to grow both academically and professionally in this new stage of university.”
For her part, Alexandra Virgüez began this semester with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. “I am starting with the best energy, positivity, and a great desire to continue learning and reinforcing my knowledge,” she said.
