Great guest speaker

Bolivia is full of incredible professionals who want to share their experiences with young people excited about change. I have come to this conclusion recently as the College puts together a speaker series of influential people in Bolivia. Our first speaker is a testament to this.

Mr. Osvaldo Vega de la Torre is the retired Chancellor of the Universidad Tecnológica Boliviana, a former Director of Business Administration at the Catholic University of Bolivia and the state university Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, and author of some important books about the Bolivian university system.

He gave a talk last night to students working on their research proposals, undergraduate theses that are required for graduation in most majors. "The key is choosing a topic you love, because it will dominate your life for a long time," he said.

This morning, he gave a workshop about the statistical analysis program SPSS, with a real example of how students and professors perceive the role of university professors.

We are glad that professional Bolivians are contributing to the College, and look forward to more collaboration with Mr. Vega de la Torre, and other Bolivians with so much to share.
