José Ramón Saborido Loidi, Minister of Higher Education in Cuba, who said: "The University of Holguin continues, as always, standing out for its work and becomes a paradigm for other institutions of Cuban Higher Education.”The training of the professional in Agronomy; evaluation of the impact of extension projects and postgraduate specialties in sustainable development, among other topics, are part of the 36 papers of the Holguin delegation, one of the largest in the country in this eleventh edition of the Congress.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on Tuesday between the Farmingdale State College, New York and the University of Holguin. In this regard, Dr.C. Lorraine Greenwald, Dean of Education and International Programs of the American institution, expressed her optimism and the mutual benefit of the new alliance, which will not only promote the academic exchange but also the cultural one and will contribute to the rapprochement between both nations.
