UABC recognizes graduates with highest averages (Frontera, 2/12/13 by Laura Durán)
TIJUANA, BC - This Tuesday, 423 UABC students were honored statewide as graduates with the best averages in their General Knowledge Exam for 2012.
The delivery of recognition for outstanding performance of Ceneval 2012 was presided over by Rector Felipe Cuamea Velásquez, as well as the directors of various departments, and was awarded to students with the highest scores on their examinations which reviewed learning they acquired during their school career.
Held in the gym at the Tijuana Campus at 12:00 hours, the event convened all departments of the campuses at Mexicali, Tijuana and Ensenada, as well as their families.
Cuamea Velásquez stressed that the UABC has worked hard not only to open more spaces to students but to also provide educational excellence, hence the UABC is one of the best universities in the country. The award, he said, is actually an accountability of students to themselves, their families and the University as they realize that they met, and met well.
"You have developed as individuals as the best of the best, the cream of the cream", he stressed as the laureates broke into applause with shouts of excitement. "They are not good because the document says that they are, because the Ceneval guarantees their quality, but also because they have worked hard to be better and be recognized", he continued.
The rector of the UABC invited the new professionals to maintain their passion and demonstrate excellence in their everyday performance. "Don't see why not, look how to say yes." Don't see problems as the problems of others, be a part of the solution, don't wait for a Messiah", he told them.
The event culminated shortly after 14:00 hours with the award-winners standing and giving applause to their families as a sign of gratitude for their support and assistance. http://www.frontera.info/EdicionEnlinea/Notas/Noticias/12022013/669756.aspx
