Most students at the College do a research project for their graduation requirement, but we found that students who wanted to start a business were at a disadvantage. Two years ago we asked Catholic University of Bolivia (our academic home) for permission to graduate students who write and defend a business plan. And our request was granted.
Fernando Salazar is the first of these students. He wrote a business plan for a butterfly farm focused on producing chrysalis and mounted specimens for sale in Bolivia, and internationally on the Internet.
Graduates that become motors for local economies, and graduates that create jobs instead of looking for jobs, is one of the reasons we are here. Congratulations to Fernando, and may many more students with these goals pass through our doors.
