Speeches of the event
CHARO SÁDABA
Dean of the School Communication
"We grow when we dare to explore the shadows. When we decide that the unknown is not a barrier, but an invitation. So, when you think about the future, don't think of it merely as a destination, but as a territory waiting to be discovered—one that needs your determination to be conquered."
JOSÉ LUIS ORIHUELA
Professor at the School of Communication
"Have the courage to seek out and always speak the truth, but rely only on sources you can verify, and remember that neither Google nor AI are sources. Train your mind every day with good books, great movies, and meaningful face-to-face conversations. Finally, never stop thinking, and never stop writing."
LAURA DÁVILA
Marketing Representative
"If there's one thing we take away from this, it's that it's not enough to be good at what we do—as marketing professionals—but also in how we live our lives. That success isn't just about work, but about being human; it's about how we treat others, the choices we make, and how we care for one another. So let's go out there with less fear and more authenticity, with less haste and more purpose."
JUAN SALINAS
Audiovisual Communications Representative
"Because our environment shapes us—that's true. But we can also shape our environment. That's why, now that we're graduating, it's our duty to bring that excellence wherever we go. What's missing are outstanding individuals: directors, screenwriters, publicists—in final, communicators who make the world a little better."
JUAN CORTÉS
Journalism Representative
"Kapuscinski used to say that to be a good journalist, you have to be a good person. These past years have shown that the 84 students sitting in those wooden chairs today have not only learned how to write, use cameras, or complete a final thesis, but also how to do everything as good people—serving others, striving for something greater, and working to make this world a better place through our profession."
