Expressions
The rector of the UDA, Francisco Salgado Arteaga, PhD, who works 32 years in this house of higher studies, said “this day is the great emotion of the reunion of those who passed through the university in these 50 years and who could really sow what we have reaped on this day. ”
For the exvicerrector, Joaquín Moreno Aguilar, being in this parade "is to remember many moments in which, with this group of people, the university was built little by little, which we consider to be very good quality and very honest, I believe that if anything we have tried to be in the UDA is to be honest in our behavior, in our way of being, in the titles we give ".
For Mario Jaramillo, professor during 42 years, celebrate this half century "is the consolidation of a first stage of the beginning of a new period, but always by the same path of service to the community with the best academic level".
The poet Sara Vanegas, a researcher at the University, "is a magnificent opportunity, first to praise the UDA that does so much good to the community of Cuenca and Ecuador, and then it is a beautiful place to meet with friends and colleagues."
At the discretion of Rafael Argudo, a professor of Languages at the Faculty of Philosophy, who works 18 years for this house, the most important thing is "to walk the streets and meet again with an alumnus who says: look at the teacher, today I do not only have a great title, but I am a good person, I do not hurt anyone and I contribute to the country ".
