New student representatives of the UDA assume

Steven Urgilés, student of Business Administration; Cristina Ordoñez, of Educational Psychology, and Daniel Sichel, of the International Studies career, will be in charge of the Student Federation of the University of Azuay since February of 2018.

This February 2, Urgilés will be inaugurated as the new president of the Federation; Ordóñez, as vice president, will occupy the position of President of the Board of Directors of the Company (UDAPOYO) and Sichel will head the Sports Association (ADEUDA) and will therefore be in charge of the GYM UDA.

UDAFE's approach, according to its next president, is to take into account the needs and rights of students and create a monetary fund for direct help to students.

Another point of its program is the connection with each Faculty of the University in order to carry out projects together.

With a two-year experience as a student leader in different spaces, the new president of UDAFE tells us that his main motivation to develop his program were the different realities, needs and problems that a student can have.

He believes that, through this position, he can be a great help and a direct bridge between the authorities and the students.

On the other hand, Cristina Ordoñez favors the restructuring of UDAPOYO with the support and knowledge of the students of the careers of the School of Basic and Initial Education and Educational Psychology.

One of the objectives of this new structure will be to carry out workshops in areas such as creativity and to link with different faculties such as Design, Architecture and Art and Science and Technology for the execution of projects.

The vice-president of UDAFE will also focus on Gender Rights, and in conjunction with the Academic Vice-Rector's Office, she plans to implement a unit in the curriculum of the subject of Christian Humanism in which the students deal with these issues.

In the sports aspect, Daniel Sichel seeks to promote the practice of sports within the University.

Sichel aims for students to carry out sports continuously, as it maintains that these activities improve the quality of life.

The new student authorities also want to implement a Vocational Guidance Department to guide students in career choice and master's degrees.
