The new Doctor Honoris Causa has exposed in his investiture speech the importance of effort and nonconformism when facing life, both personally and in the workplace. As well as the important role of the University of Almeria in the training of future generations. A training that, he said, must be completed with DUAL training, with which UAL and companies join hands to provide students with the necessary skills to exercise their professional activities, facilitate their employability and promote their entrepreneurship.
With the auditorium full of guests and after being invested doctor, the rector has welcomed him to the Senate and stressed that both his human and professional qualities make him an example “in which we all look”, but especially the students of the UAL. “You have shown that business models inspired by sustainability and social justice are also a source of wealth and, by extension, build the future. A future in which, on the other hand, much will also have to say our students, our researchers and professionals of today and tomorrow, who today ‘dream’ and tomorrow ‘act’ following your example, because your uplifting testimony has made you a reference for future generations.”
