"I met Conchita at the beginning of the 1981/1982 academic year, when I started my second year at the School of Medicine and was admitted as a student intern at the department of Human Physiology with Don Juan Jiménez Vargas," recalls Dr. Secundino Fernández, Vice President of Office of Academic Affairs. "She was, above all, a woman of mission statement: she had it very clear and never missed an opportunity to transmit and remind all of us who passed through department of the opportunity and responsibility we had working at project of the University of Navarra. As the years went by, in the short or long meetings we had, he kept reminding us of this, while at the same time he was interested in our families and our progress staff and professional progress. It was something he did with everyone.

"Of course, Conchita commanded a lot and she commanded well, she went ahead and made sure that everything was in order and worked, she facilitated the work of everyone, teachers, students, technicians. Always in a good mood, she generated a friendly atmosphere without lowering the demands. For many he has been and will continue to be a clear reference in the University".
