November is
almost past, and with it many memories have stayed in our minds. This month was
an eventful and crucial time of the year for many UAM students. While students
had to face the end of the semester and the final exams that come with it,
there was still room for fun during this month with the celebration of International
Education Week.

| Winning Team for Jeopardy. Congratulations to CUSE! |
UAM’s
celebration started on Monday, November 12 with a Global Jeopardy event. Seven
faculties of the university were represented by two students who participated in
a ferocious competition for the ultimate price: free tickets to go to the
movies. For those who do not know what Jeopardy is like, it is a fun game of
trivial questions regarding eight topics. In this case, the subjects were according
to the celebration of being international so questions were asked regarding world
history, language, cartoons, world leaders, world flags, math, movies, and UAM
trivia. In the end, Gustavo Salinas and Johnny Siman from the CUSE faculty were
the ones who took the victory home and the Medicine faculty took the price for
best cheering crowd.
The next
two days were celebrated by inviting two great role models to give a small talk
regarding important International matters. On Tuesday, Audrey Huon-Dumentat came
in to talk about “100,000 strong in the America’s. What does it mean for
Nicaragua?” This was an interesting and important topic for many UAM students
since they gathered information regarding international scholarships. Finally,
to end UAM’s celebration, on Wednesday, November 14, we had the pleasure of
having Greg McDonald Vice-Director of the Peace Corp who came in to talk about
the institutions 50th anniversary and what they do in Nicaragua and
around the world. He also shared some motivational and interesting personal
stories.
We would
like to thank all of those who joined, helped, and supported us during this
great celebration. UAM is truly committed to internationalization. We promise
that this celebration will be a yearly event which will keep growing and
getting better as years go by!
