University studies are an unforgettable stage in life; during this time, knowledge is acquired, character is shaped, and, to a great extent, one's professional path is defined.
A prime example is a large group of graduates who completed their studies 50, 60, or more years ago at the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG). They gathered at "Retorno 2024" to reminisce about their time at their Alma Mater.
The official ceremony took place in the Lic. Antonio Leaño Reyes Auditorium, where the graduates, accompanied by their families, relived moments from their university days.
“Today you are back in this home that has always been yours, where the memories of everything you lived feel as fresh as if time had never passed."“Today is a great day to remember, to return home. Surely for many of you, simply walking through the doors of your University once more has awakened memories full of nostalgia from those times when each classroom witnessed your dreams and aspirations," he said.
“Your time here not only marked a before and after in your lives, but it has left an indelible mark on our institution. In each of you, the UAG spirit remains alive, represented by your professionalism, dedication, and commitment to serving others,” he stated."
He added that the institution continues to pursue its vision of being at the forefront of education and being a university that shapes world-class innovative leaders.
“A testament to this are the alliances made in recent years with Cintana Education and Arizona State University, which have reinforced innovation. Additionally, most programs are now accredited, certified, and more,” said Dr. Petersen Farah.
After these words, pins and recognitions were presented to the graduates.
