By Dr. Ing. Mauricio Godoy Seura, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering of the University of La Serena (FIULS) once again shows its pleasure and joy for the new students who are joining the educational community. Welcome everyone to the University of La Serena.

Under this context, I call on the students of the FIULS to carry out and develop activities to welcome the new “papayas and papayas” with the most determined respect for the rights of all, and above all taking care of the physical integrity and psychological of the students who are welcomed into the university community. The so-called “Mechoneo” must be transformed into activities that value humanity above all and its entry into an institution that works to build a better society. Building a better world with better people involves respect and empathy for others.

It is also necessary to mention that in order to ensure the rights of all our students, the University has the mechanisms defined in the document called Rights and Duties of Students of the University of La Serena to ensure and protect rights and duties. , but also sanction behaviors that threaten them. It is neither tolerable nor acceptable that people enjoy denigrating their fellow human beings.

On the other hand, the FIULS congratulates all the students and careers that have already carried out activities called “Positive Mechoneo”, such as the Architecture career, who has carried out a Cleaning Day in the Wetland at the mouth of the Elqui River.

Finally, it is important to emphasize to the entire Faculty of Engineering community the importance of the beginning of this new academic year and, above all, the incorporation of camaraderie activities around respect for people and the territory, as well as promote self-care and care for the environment.
