During his visit, Jorge Roca met with academic and administrative authorities from Zamorano University to discuss topics related to educational management, institutional development, social engagement, sustainability, and potential areas for joint collaboration. These exchanges fostered the sharing of best practices and reflections on social and educational impact models with regional scope.
As part of the agenda, the representative of the Junta de Beneficencia de Guayaquil toured several areas of the campus, including academic, productive, and research facilities, gaining firsthand insight into Zamorano University’s learn-by-doing educational model and its contribution to the comprehensive training of professionals committed to the development of the agrifood sector and the broader social context of the region.
This visit reaffirms Zamorano University’s commitment to strengthening regional partnerships and building strategic alliances that promote interinstitutional cooperation, quality education, and sustainable development across Latin America.
