A day of immense rejoicing was experienced this Wednesday at the José Martí Pérez University of Sancti Spíritus (UNISS), when a Solemn Cloister was held to honor two professors with ample merits and contributions to the knowledge of educators and students of the province.
Initially, Dr. Ralf Kiran Shulz, from the University of Kassel, Germany, was granted the status of Visiting Professor for maintaining notable links of collaboration with UNISS and contributing to the training of doctorates for almost a decade.
After being recognized, Kiran Shulz expressed: “Receiving this category shows that I am part of Sancti Spíritus and this country, where friendship has also been born and I wish it to continue.”
The meeting was also conducive to awarding the special category of Professor Emeritus to Doctor of Science Caridad Cancio López, for her contributions to the work of the Sancti Spiritus university and to Cuban pedagogy, both as an educator of several generations, and for her role as painting, which he performed satisfactorily.
In addition, he fulfilled an internationalist mission in Latin American countries, such as Bolivia, where his work left deep marks.
Cancio López began his words of gratitude with an emotional tribute to the Revolution and, especially, to Fidel Castro Ruz, for the opportunity to train as an academic.
“I thank this university; Without her I could not be the woman I am; It is, without a doubt, my second home. To the colleagues who were by my side when facing the work as a cadre I also thank you infinitely. Of course, to the family, the one who accompanied me in every endeavor,” she expressed.
At the meeting, the First Secretary of the Provincial Committee of the Union of Young Communists, Abram Sánchez, presented a recognition to Professor Caridad Cancio López, on behalf of those generations that counted and still count on her wisdom.
Present in the solemn cloister of the Sancti Spiritus university were the member of the Provincial Bureau of the Party Elaine Plasencia Alfonso; Yoandra Hernández Ramírez, Coordinator of Programs and Objectives of the Provincial Government; as well as the UNISS board of directors, headed by the Rector, Dr C. Edelvy Bravo Amarante, who emphasized the commitment of the Sancti Spiritus university community to train prepared and competent professionals.
