Dear all:

We live in times of great transformations. The speed with which changes -social, cultural, technological- are taking place often pushes us to respond with immediacy, to seek visible results, to translate value into figures. But the external rhythm does not always keep pace with the internal rhythm at which the truly significant is forged.

The founder of our university, St. Josemaría Escrivá, reminded us that work done well, carried out in a spirit of service, is the path to sanctification and the transformation of the world. In the midst of the vertigo of today's world, his message encourages us to cultivate depth, constancy and daily submission , also in our university work. It is not just a matter of doing more, but of doing better, with meaning and with roots.

That is why, at our School, the data contained in this annual report are not just quantifiable achievements. They reflect a way of understanding knowledge, Education and university life. We do not show them as a claim, but as a testimony of a collective task that seeks to cultivate intelligence, yes, but also inner freedom, critical thinking and commitment to truth.

Thanks to all of you who make this project possible.
