Just as last year, Integra UniRV happened simultaneously in Aparecida, Formosa and Goianésia. In Aparecida de Goiânia Campus, the 75 new students were welcomed by the course directors, who went through the general information on the organizational structure. For course director, professor Dr. Rafaella Caetano, Integra is important so that students can make themselves feel at home. “Integra is an extremely important moment for the welcoming of new students, presenting this new cycle of learning and establishing a closer proximity with them and the course coordination,” she said.

At night it was the opportunity for the first period students of the courses of Agronomy, Business, Marketing, Accounting Sciences, Interior Design, Graphic Design, Law, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Physiotherapy, Veterinary Medicine, Pedagogy, Dentistry and Psychology. They were welcomed and received a loving hug from UniRV’s staff. With a crowded Convention Center, the students interacted with the directors by having their course name mentioned. The lax moment marked the arrival of new students in the construction of UniRV’s history.

For the first period student of Veterinary Medicine Hyan Carlos de Sousa Correia the moment made a difference, mainly to those, that like him, have just left high school. “It is a different process, there are many changes, we are in a new environment and it is normal that many doubts arise. That’s why I believe this welcoming is fundamental in helping us trail this journey,” he highlighted. The same feeling was shared by Samara Borges Silva, that says enthusiastically how she fell in love with UniRV as she got to know the campus and its facilities. “I was also accepted in another University, but when I came here for the first time I was sure that it was here that I would start accomplishing my dream. I was mesmerized by the labs and, being able to rely on an event such as Integra, contributes to our excitement and helps us find this new world.”

The event agitated UniRV and initiated an important journey to the formation of licensed professionals for the job market, ones that contribute to society’s growth. “We have a full house and initiate another semester with a record 40 new first period classes. This amount just goes to show the strength of the University of Rio Verde in the national scene, standing out as a reference to other higher education institutions,” concluded the Rector, Alberto Barella.
