Thousands of Students Enjoy the University Welcome
For two days, they got to know the services offered by the institution and enjoyed a range of activities, including the III University Mile and the UCAMPaella
Nearly 400 members of the UCAM community took part in the III University
Mile, which was part of the University Welcome 2022. The welcome began
yesterday at the Los Jerónimos Campus, and will move to the Cartagena
Campus tomorrow, Thursday. The Olympic Karate champion, Sandra
Sánchez, was in charge of starting the race and presenting the prizes to the
winners. She also held a meeting with students, who asked her about
psychological aspects, nutrition, planning and training "and about the
preparation for the Olympic Games; the part that is not covered by the
cameras", bearing in mind "that we have gone through particularly complicated
times due to the pandemic", while highlighting "the very positive atmosphere"
that she encountered during her attendance to the different scheduled
activities.
Can I volunteer? What languages are offered? Erasmus, USA-
Overseas...?
During these two days, thousands of students have visited the information
stands set up in the Plaza de San Antonio of the UCAM, getting to know all the
services first hand. These included Volunteering, Career Guidance and
Information, Chaplaincy and Religious Sciences, Sports Activities, the
UCAM Sports Center, the Research Centre for High Performance Sport,
the School of Languages (ESI)–which offered workshops in Korean and
Hebrew–the University Dentistry, Podiatry and Nutrition Clinics,
the Technological Institute of the UCAM and the university radio station
iRadio. In addition, information on mobility programmes was also provided.
One of the most popular areas was the esports one, in which retro gaming
consoles were set up, and where the influencer Paracetamor took part in a
Meet & Greet this morning. The events ended with a large paella, which was
enjoyed by more than 700 students.
