University Fair: 10th & 11th Grade
By: Diana Quintero Acosta, Communications & Marketing - Colegio San José We have had a very diverse agenda with the universities and higher education institutions with which we have partnerships. In January, a group of our 11th-grade students traveled to Bogotá to visit Universidad del Rosario, Javeriana, Sabana, Los Andes, Tadeo Lozano, Del Bosque and Externado to decide where they will continue their studies. They were accompanied by Mrs. María A. Camargo, our SAE psychologist for 9th, 10th, and 11th grades. Then, in February, at our Gonzaga Resource Center, 10th and 11th-grade students were very excited to attend the fair we organized with local, national, and international universities to learn about their programs. Among the participating institutions were Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, La Sabana, Del Norte, Libre, Simón Bolívar, Sergio Arboleda, San Martín, EF, ESIC, De la Costa, Protécnica, Sky Aviation SAS.
