Highlights from the National Convocation and Graduation Ceremony

"Congratulations. We are very proud of all of you," was how the UCP President congratulated the University's recent graduates at the National Convocation and Graduation Ceremony on October 18. "On behalf of the UCP community, I wish you every success in this new phase of your lives, but also that you embrace our challenging and extraordinary world with a restless spirit, a sense of purpose and moral clarity in contributing to a world where everyone, everyone, everyone has a place," she added.

She thanked the faculty members, who for the first time received the Medals of Merit for 25 and 40 years of service, "for their dedication and contribution to building our university, which is great because it is made up of great people".

Isabel Capeloa Gil said, "congratulations to the academic and scientific community of Católica for the commitment, ambition and performance that allow us to continue to lead, innovate and grow in an increasingly competitive international environment".
