January - April 2008 Last Bell!!

Last 18 we celebrated our traditional Last Bell festivity. El Ultimo Timbre has become a celebration for students, families and all the members of our university community. These were some photos we took that day. As a teacher, I always feel very proud of each one of those students celebrating their final day as a student and wish them the best of luck in their lives now as professionals and hope, future and pride of our country.

12th AudioVisual Show!

The 12th Muestra Audiovisual took place last 17 and 18 of April at the Auditorium of URBE. Participants to the show were students from Social Communication and Graphic Design Schools. They presented short stories, documentaries, video clips, television programs and a newscast to the audience. The Best works were rewarded with the Oscar Belloso Award. Of course, there was music and lots of fun.

Congratulations to all participants, students and teachers that worked really hard to give us a great Audiovisual Show.

An educational video describing solar power and how it works. Solar power is one of many renewable, clean sources of energy available to us, and an alternative to fossil fuels, the use of which contributes to global warming.
