UniRV Family meeting marks 50-year celebration

It was March 25^th and there was a celebratory feeling in the air of the main area of the Convention Center, which was specially prepared to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the Higher Education Foundation of Rio Verde (Fesurv), created on March 19^th, 1973. To welcome the staff members for the celebration, each detail was carefully thought of: from the table arrangements to the silverware that garnished every single table in the environment.

The 50^th anniversary celebration is an achievement to everyone who has worked and still work, dedicatedly and committedly in making the Institution a national reference in higher education. Little by little, professors and staff members arrived at the place, wearing the commemorative blue and gold t-shirts, made exclusively to represent the anniversary festivities that started in March.

If inside the Convention Center, people’s smiles and happiness excited everyone, outside, a variety of foods, in the “queima do alho” style, enticed the taste of everyone that passed by the big pans, full of rice, beans and a wide variety of meats, all of which follow in the traditional culinary, prepared by a group of cowboys.

To celebrate the anniversary in style, a birthday cake and the traditional “happy birthday to you” got a round of applause and shouting, eternizing, inside everyone there, such a memorable date for the University of Rio Verde.

Honored for being the Institution’s manager during the 50^th anniversary celebration, the Magnificent Rector, professor Alberto Barella Netto, made a warming and emotional speech: “Today is a very special day for everyone here; this is a celebration made to the entire UniRV Family, that make the University of Rio Verde. My friends and colleagues, it is very good being here with you, on this day that will be marked forever: the 50^th anniversary of our dear UniRV. It is a privilege being in the Rectory in such a special year, but I couldn’t forget to thank each staff member and professors that have helped us offer excellent education that brings people from all over the country to our campuses. Congratulations, UniRV! And thank you staff members for everything you do for our institution”.

Honoring the half century celebration of the municipal higher education institution, the Mayor of Rio Verde, Paulo do Vale, congratulated the staff members for achieving such a brilliant history: “Congratulations to all of you who make our UniRV be nationally recognizable. The work from each and every one of you make the people of Rio Verde very proud. Proud of knowing how much our University is respected throughout Brazil, graduating excellent professionals and making a successful history. Hurray for UniRV’s 50^th anniversary!”, concluded the Mayor.
