Santo Domingo – The Universidad Domínico Americano (UNICDA) celebrated its XIX Ordinary Graduation at the Casa San Pablo Auditorium, in a ceremony attended by graduates, family members, professors and directors of the university. Ramón Sosa, Chancellor of Universidad Domínico Americano, who was in charge of the event’s welcoming remarks, said: “Recognize and assume that, if you feel that the road is difficult, it is probably because you are going in the right direction, because there is no greater talent than having the ability to take the risk to achieve goals that seem impossible. Barriers will rise, doors will close, but it is at that moment that the successful person adapts, insists, gets up and starts again”. Mr. Ramón Sosa was accompanied at the table of honor by Mr. Darío Lama, President of the Board of Directors of ICDA and Dr. Laura Reyes, Academic Vice Chancellor of UNICDA. Alejandra Brunet, Mr. Carlos Núñez, Mr. Ligia Henríquez, Dr. Alexandra García and Mr. Francisco Felipe were also part of the ceremony.
