With an entirely virtual format, the 2021 edition of the Unicamp Open Doors (UPA) program began. The opening was attended by the rector and general coordinator of the University, Antonio José Meirelles and Maria Luiza Moretti. UPA 2021 continues until July 23rd, with a program aimed at presenting the University to the general public, especially high school students. The activities also include panels on current issues that permeate Unicamp's activities, such as innovation; scientific and technological production; sustainability and human rights.
During the UPA program, pointed out the dean, students will be able to experience what Unicamp is all about. “They will be able to see what our University best provides to society, in terms of training, human resources, people, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. They will have contact with our research in science, technology and innovation, with the generation of knowledge and the appreciation of culture”.
Professor Antonio José Meirelles also stressed the importance of Unicamp policies that bring a greater diversity of students to its interior. “Here you will also find a university open to society, seeking, through its policies of inclusion and student permanence, to better reflect the diversity of our country”.
Unicamp's general coordinator, Maria Luiza Moretti, shared a bit of her history with the University, which she joined in 1971 as an undergraduate student. Coming from a public school, the teacher pointed out that it is possible to have access to Unicamp and encouraged students to attend higher education.
“Higher education can leverage your lives, not only in the sense of entrepreneurship, not only in the sense of better opportunities for professional life, but also, but mainly, for your own lives. Learning, teaching, everything we can acquire at the University is a unique time in our lives and stays forever in our thoughts, in our personality as a good, productive time and full of new knowledge”, he said.
Also participating in the opening of UPA 2021 were the Dean of University Development, Fernando Sarti; the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Ivan Toro; the Dean of Graduate Studies, Rachel Meneghello; the Dean of Research, João Marcos Romano; the Dean of Extension and Culture, Fernando Coelho; and the coordinator of the Coordination of Interdisciplinary Research Centers and Nuclei at Unicamp (Cocen), professor Ana Carolina de Moura Delfim Maciel;
