HELLO FELLAS – freshmen and oldies! I hope you are ready to start a new academic year enthusiastically. This year I was very happy to be part of the Welcome days<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in order to, hopefully, help new students feel comfortable during their first week in Valencia<\/strong>. Do you remember how were your first moments at University\u00a0CEU Cardenal Herrera<\/strong><\/a>? If not I will give you a flashback ticket.<\/span><\/p>\n

As usual, the 5th of September was the first day for international students<\/strong>, around 600 this year adding to the international community. The countries, you can count on French, Latin American, Taiwanese and Scandinavian are the major populations but actually, they are from 60 countries in the world. At 9 a.m. they all gathered at the main square to hear the Welcome speech of the Vice-Rectors, then each faculty received their students and guided them to the Health Sciences, Veterinary or Architecture buildings. The Hospitality team<\/strong> made a brief presentation about the university, the enrollment process, the residence card and so on. Afterward, the coordinator of each degree made a tour in small groups of students so they could easily find their way around the facilities. I followed one of the tours and could see that students were very excited<\/strong> to start their degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
