Among them was Víctor Pinzón, a business administrator and author of the book Financial infidelity; Juan Carlos Castillo, tax expert and product manager; and Guillermo Cantor García, graduate in Physical Education, specialist in sports training and marathon runner.

Also participating were Andrés Moreno, a business administrator from the Chía Extension and founder of the Andrés Rompepiernas Foundation, recognized for transforming lives through sports and his social work; as well as Paola Casallas, a consultant in employability and organizational development with more than 13 years of experience; Diego Armando Castro, a graduate in Systems Engineering in Fusagasugá, with a master's degree in Information Technology Security; and Liliana Quevedo Soto, a graduate in Animal Science and current executive director of Asojersey, a leader in sustainability and leadership in the agricultural sector.

The day concluded with a keynote address by international speaker Jeison Aristizábal, CNN Hero 2016, social leader, communicator, and lawyer, who delivered a powerful and compassionate speech. With a message focused on resilience, gratitude, and discipline, he encouraged participants to value life and persevere in pursuing their dreams.

Aristizábal recalled that “Happiness begins when we learn to be grateful and recognize what we already have.”, He urged the young people never to lose their ability to dream. “The distance between dreams and reality is called discipline,” he said, encouraging the university community to build meaningful change through small, everyday actions.

This meeting reaffirmed the commitment of the University of Cundinamarca to its graduates and to the construction of initiatives based on technology, sustainability and social responsibility, pillars that drive the transformation of the territory and open opportunities for new generations.
