Alumni

Knowledge is learned through study,

Wisdom through observation

Being a UIS graduate, is an honor, so the university has strengthened its bond, through Superior Agreement 091 of 2008, in which the Graduate Policy was established and after a collective construction work that lasted about 3 years, the new Institutional Development Plan 2019 – 2030, a framework document that defines a vision of the future of the University for the coming years including the relationship with its graduates.

The Universidad Industrial de Santander recognizes its graduates as active members of the university community, seeking to support its development and thus strengthen its relationship with our alma mater. From the Office of Foreign Affairs, the Institutional Program of Graduates day by day gestates important programs and activities, seeking to maintain a connection and effective communication with the graduates; the accompaniment of the academic and administrative units in the accreditation processes of the University has been fundamental, for which it has visualized the need to strengthen the links between the Alumni Program and the Schools, Departments and Faculties.

PROYECT OF

Distinguished Alumni

The goal of the “Distinguished Alumni” project is to honor and recognize graduates of our alma mater who have demonstrated outstanding performance across various fields.

This project, essential for acknowledging and valuing our graduates, organizes recognition into four main categories: professional, academic-scientific, entrepreneurial, and cultural. The selection process will follow a rigorous roadmap, including the classification of alumni, verification of their achievements, and a pre-selection conducted by a specialized committee.

Subsequently, the Consejo Académico (Academic Council) will validate the candidates, culminating in a formal recognition ceremony. This process, aligned with best practices from other universities, underscores the importance of celebrating our alumni’s achievements, strengthening institutional ties, and fostering university pride.

Introduction

The new “Distinguished Alumni” project of our alma mater aims primarily to honor and recognize those graduates who have demonstrated outstanding performance in their respective professional fields. This initiative is of great significance, as it highlights the importance of our graduates as key pillars who, through their work and dedication, contribute significantly to the prestige and development of both our university and society at large.

To select these distinguished alumni, a rigorous roadmap will be implemented in several stages. First, alumni will be classified into four fields—professional, academic-scientific, entrepreneurial, and cultural—in order to begin the selection process.

To apply or be nominated, alumni must meet certain requirements, such as having certified experience in one or more of the aforementioned fields, receiving recognitions throughout their careers, and submitting a written statement detailing their contributions to society.

Nominations will be submitted through a form that collects information about awards, achievements, and other relevant data; this information will be verified by a selection committee composed of a representative of the alumni, the Director of External Relations, the Coordinator of the Institutional Alumni Program, the President of ASEDUIS, and the corresponding Dean.

After the pre-selection stage, the Consejo Académico (Academic Council) will validate the candidates, who will then be honored in a special recognition ceremony. This process was consolidated based on selection methods used by other universities such as ITM, Universidad Santiago de Cali, and Universidad Metropolitana, which also emphasize the importance of valuing and celebrating distinguished alumni.

The “Distinguished Alumni” project not only acknowledges the accomplishments and contributions of our graduates but also strengthens the bond with our institution and inspires future generations by promoting pride and a sense of belonging within our university community. This project stands as a testament to UIS’s commitment to excellence and to recognizing those who contribute to the development and prestige of our society.

Recognition Ceremony

Finally, a ceremony will be held to honor and celebrate the distinguished alumni. Exaltations will be granted to all pre-selected graduates, while decorations will be awarded to those chosen by the Consejo Académico (Academic Council).
